Fantasy Ability Icons - 368 Painted RPG Spell & Skill Icons
A downloadable asset pack
368 ability icons. Painted, cut out, sorted.
Painted icons for every button on an RPG's action bar: the spells, the weapon techniques, the shouts, the stances and the breath attacks. Each icon is a separate square PNG with a real alpha channel — no matte, no background to key out — so it sits the same on a dark panel or a light one.
Pre-tagged, too. Every icon is listed in manifest.json with its category, whether it is a spell or a technique, its skill, damage type and target, so you can load the whole set into your ability database without typing a single name.
Fire & Hellfire is free on this page — all 23 icons at every size, under the same licence as the pack. Download it and you know exactly what the other fourteen categories look like.
| Icons | 368, every one a separate file: 187 spells and 181 techniques |
| Sizes | 512, 128 and 64 px, square, transparent |
| Style | painted fantasy illustration; some icons sit in a round medallion, some are a bare object or effect |
| Pre-tagged data | manifest.json: display name, category, spell or technique, skill, damage type, target and a file per size, for every icon |
| Licence | Unlimited commercial projects, no royalty, attribution not required but appreciated |

🗂️ The names ship as data — no typing 368 skill names
Files are named for the ability — fire-and-hellfire/512/fireball.png — and manifest.json lists every icon with its display name, category, whether it is a spell or a technique, the weapon or magic skill it belongs to, its damage type (fire, ice, holy, slash, blunt…), who it targets, and a file per size. Load a whole category into an ability database without typing a name.
{ "name": "Fireball", "category": "fire-and-hellfire", "kind": "spell", "skill": "Fire Magic", "damage_type": "fire", "files": { "512": "fire-and-hellfire/512/fireball.png", … } }
🎮 Drops into any engine — plain PNGs, no importer
These are plain PNGs. They drop into Godot, Unity, Unreal, GameMaker, Defold, a web build or a design tool with no importer and no dependency. Use the 64 px copies for action bars and buffs, 128 px for skill trees and tooltips, and 512 px for large skill-tree art, loading screens or print.
Some icons are mostly dark (Shadow and Necromancy especially), so put them on a mid-tone or lighter panel rather than pure black.
