Magic Spell lists of the Known Lands

By going with Advanced d20 Magic, you have to pretty much divide your magic spells. All of them can be potentially used by every spellcaster, bringing confusion to your players.

So, lets take a look at the magic casting classes in the Known Lands:

Cleric Type -
* Priest: Civilized leader of a church or temple. (Standard Cleric)
* Druid: Caster that reveres nature. (Standard Druid).
* Shaman: Priestly caster who concentrate on spells dealing with animal spirits and elements. (Shaman from WoW)
* Paladin: A paragon of virtue that fights for Justice and battles demons and undead. (Standard Paladin)

Wizard Type -
* Mage - Your usual cast spells to blast people with. (Standard Generalist)
* Necromancer - expert in magic dealing with life and death. (Standard Necromancer)
* Warlock - Conjuration expert that uses demonic and devilish energies and traffics with demons and devils. (from World of Warcraft)

The Shaman and the Warlock are pretty easily defined:

As for the Shaman, he gets his own two domains: elements and spirits. While the Druid is tied to reverence the material, the Shaman reverences the spiritual.
