- --Beast Boy to Raven in "Brain Food"
Raven's Spellbook is a miniature, pale lilac-colored book owned by Raven. It is filled with various spells, rituals and incantations. It has detailed pictures of certain spells, and can only be read by those who know runes, sigils and glyphs; the written language of all magic itself.
The only Teen Titan who has not yet used it is Starfire, secretly or otherwise.
History[]
Season One[]
In "Double Trouble", Cyborg and Beast Boy's magical doubles steal the spellbook and create more magical doubles of themselves to throw the Titans out of the tower. Later, it is revealed that the real Cyborg and Beast Boy found the spellbook months ago, and had already used the duplication spell to create the original magical doubles to take their place in the Tower.
In "Starliar," the spellbook briefly appeared in Raven's room before a hungry Silkie ate it and gained special magical abilities as a result.
In "Meatball Party," Beast Boy snatches Raven's cloak, to tease her when she wasn't talking. He then takes out her spellbook to try and turn the couch into a burrito. After two failed attempts, resulting in Cyborg and Robin turning into a frog and a unicorn, he finally gets the spell right.
In "Brain Food," Beast Boy feels bitter that he is less intelligent than the other Titans and decides to use Raven's spell book to cast a spell to make himself smarter. He finds an intelligence spell and casts it, but it ends up hitting Silkie. Seeing that his spell to make himself smarter didn't work, he instead casts a spell to make all of the other Titans dumber, which succeeds. After spending some time as the smartest Titan, Beast Boy decides he liked the way things used to be. So he uses the book again to cast a spell to make him even dumber than the other Titans.
In "Más y Menos," at the start of the episode, Raven is seen reading her spellbook again when she scares Más and Menos off.
Season Two[]
In "Halloween," Raven is briefly seen looking through her book of spells to find a dark spell to summon the Halloween Spirit. She had found the indigents of a potion in a dark ritual to summon such a sinister creature; a witch's eye, mummy's hand, dragon's scale, a goblin's claw and a handful of candy corn.
Season Six[]
The book itself doesn't have much importance for many episodes until "Magic Man", which reveals that she is extremely dependent on it to the degree that she cannot perform spells without it especially after it gets reduced to dust (by Beast Boy on accident). It is also revealed that it once had a copy in the Azarath Public Library until a demon kid incinerated it with his barf. To reclaim a new copy, Raven must ask the Book Wizard to publish it, which is something that he refused until Beast Boy rendered him into a helpless burrito.
It is seen in "Ghost With the Most" when Beetlejuice makes an appearance on Halloween when Raven attempted to call upon the ancient Spirit of Halloween for assistance, but naturally failed due to his abduction.
In "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Dance Crew Edition, Part 1", in order to make himself look good in front of five of the original members of the mighty Justice League, Robin had "borrowed" it to cast a duplication spell that created a dance crew he dubbed "the Jabbawockeez".
In "The Mug" it was seen as the larger, black-and-pink skull Book of Imagination that Raven had buried and destroyed in "Books" when the Titans became a family for Robin to finally get his "#1 Dad" mug.
Season Seven[]
In "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Dance Crew Edition", Robin "borrowed" it (without permission) to create the Jabbawockeez as his own dance crew.
In "Batman's Birthday Gift", Raven accidentally left her spellbook on a bus, which led to the clowns transmuting into fish zombies.
In "A Sticky Situation", Sticky Joe found the spellbook underneath the couch and tried to use it to open the can of beans, only to witness the horrors within and accidentally released a contained spirit. He then decided it would be best to leave the book alone and tossed it away.
Season Eight[]
In "Plot Holes", Raven uses the Crazy Adventures spell, which is actually a reality-bending spell, to create insane adventures riddled with plot holes. This ends up causing adventures with real-life plot holes for the Titans, leading them into real dangers.
In "Azarath! Metrion! Bookstore!", Raven packs in the spellbook with her toothbrush and sleeping bag to take with her to Azarath for her family "bonding time" with her demon father, paternal grandmother, magical feline, and the spirit Hank at her paternal family's bookstore of magic.
Film[]
In the first feature-length movie, it was seen during the song the Teen Titans sung to tell Balloon Man who they are. Raven levitated it via her telekinesis, and referred to it as her one of many magical powers she possesses, like teleportation.

Known Spells[]
- Duplication: Cyborg and Beast Boy had created dozens of clones of themselves, so that they could do nothing but eat junk food and play video games. A few years later, Robin used it to make a dance crew that resembled him for the Justice League's Dance Crew competition.
- Transfiguration: The caster can change any object into another or even a living creature. Beast Boy had turned the couch into a unicorn and a burrito. At one point, she even turned Cyborg fully human again.
- Levitation: By eating it, Silkie was given the ability to levitate off the shelf.
- Genius-Level Intelligence: Beast Boy had tried to make himself smart and intelligent, but it had hit Silkie instead. This gives the smart one glasses.
- Extreme Stupidity: Beast Boy used this spell in "Brain Food" that made the other four Titans even dumber than he already was.
- Superhuman Strength: One's bodily strength will be greatly magnified a hundredfold; capable of picking up cars, trucks, trees, and even breaking rock or concrete with a single punch.
- Potion-Making: Raven had required special ingredients of a witch's eye, a handful of candy corn, a mummy's hand, a dragon's scale and a goblin's claw to call upon the mighty Spirit of Halloween. These indigents can be combined with either a pumpkin or a squash.
- Summoning: Caster can call upon any magical creature or being, should the situation be dire enough to do so. In "The Overbite," Raven had magically summoned the Dance Demon from his dimension of dance.
- Animation & Reanimation: Raven can bring inanimate objects to life with their own personality and will, even fictional characters from television programs.
- Creation of Sentient & Autonomous Beings: Robin had cast a strong life-giving spell in "Justice League's Next Top Talent Idol Star: Dance Crew Edition" that had created several living and thinking male beings Jabbawockeez, which he had used for his own dance crew to make himself look good in front of the Justice League's five original members.
- Transformation & Transmutation: This powerful spell was cast in "The Mug" to turn the Teen Titans into an ordinary family and Titans Tower into a typical suburban house. Another similar spell in "Batman's Birthday Gift" involves turning some clowns into fish zombies.
- Reality Alteration: A potent spell that involves randomly filling in the blanks, as revealed in "Plot Holes". By filling in these blanks, reality can be bent, but also causes plot holes to appear and potentially destroy the universe.
Trivia[]
- This book is not to be confused with Raven's much larger, medium-sized Book of Ancient Legends, which was shown to be her spellbook in "The Mug" when Raven created a way for the Teen Titans to became a family to please Robin.
- It appeared in the feature movie Teen Titans Go! To the Movies during the song when Raven was bragging about her magical abilities as a half-demon.
- Although such spells have not been yet cast, Raven has said (in "Real Boy Adventures") that she can use her magic to read the minds of animals, telekinesis, teleportation, turn people into animals, change things into something else.
- In "Brain Food," the spellbook is revealed to be a gift from her father, Trigon. On the back, it says "Keep Out."
- It only seems to contain spells associated with dark/black magic, as none of any good/white magic have yet been cast.
- Every incantation of any spell she casts seems to be her frequent use of further strengthening and focusing her psionic abilities: Azarath Metrion Zinthos.
- Aside from Raven, Beast Boy is one of the only other Titans that has used her spellbook more than once.
- It did not appear at all in Season 3, Season 4, or Season 5.
- "Magic Man" reveals that it is a shared knowledge amid the Azarath community, and the Book Wizard won't tolerate Raven losing it or any of its multiple copies.
