'''Progressive spells''', also known as '''Dichotomic''', '''Dissident''', '''Composite''', and '''Ecliptic''' spells, are spells, songs, and disciplines that improve as you complete specific content.  First introduced in ''[[The Broken Mirror]]'', they received improvements with ''[[The Burning Lands]]'', ''[[Claws of Veeshan]]'', and ''[[Night of Shadows]]'' expansions.

To use Dichotomic you must be at least level 101. For Dissident, 106. With Composite the minimum level is 111, and for Ecliptic it is 116.

New progressive spells, disciplines, and song were introduced with ''[[The Burning Lands]]''.  The TBL spells are known as Dissident.
The following are the requirements introduced with ''The Burning Lands''.

** There are a lot of safeguards in EverQuest to prevent you from having spells you 'shouldn't' have. Unfortunately they all think that you shouldn't have these hidden spells.

** Changing religions can do this, as that process attempts to remove any spells you had that you no longer qualify to have memorized (for any reason).
** /spellscribe is the most common culprit in Beta. It starts by wiping all your spells and then giving you all the spells that are <= to your level and match your class. This process wipes the hidden spells (if you have any) and only gives you the base spell, which will no longer do anything.
** For the existing spells from ''The Broken Mirror'', talking to [http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/npc.html?id=50305 Warlowe Rida (Spells)] in the Plane of Tranquility will fix your missing hidden spells.
** Upgrading yourself to a heroic character uses the same function as spellscribe behind the scenes, so it will do the same things. We have added a hook at the end of the upgrade process to re-run the hidden spell script, so this shouldn't happen any more, but it got a lot of people. We're going to update that script with this one as well.

<blockquote>You say, 'Hail, Virtuous Dusk'
Virtuous Dusk says, 'Have we met, adventurer? Never mind, I care not and have no time for pleasantries. Would you like to know about the power of [dissidence], or have you heard this before and merely need a [reminder]?'
You say, 'dissidence'
Virtuous Dusk says, 'I have use for your coin. Do not trouble yourself with the reasons. However, I can [teach] you about these dissident abilities, and how they will grow in [power] along with your knowledge of our current troubles.'
You say, 'reminder'
You are unable to learn your progressive ability because you do not know the base ability.
You say, 'teach'
Virtuous Dusk says, 'Laws, contracts, and orders are the rule of the land here. The truest source of [power] comes from  the ability to disrupt those contracts, tipping the value of the agreed exchange in your favor.'
You say, 'power'
Virtuous Dusk says, 'Unlike most abilities, these will grow in power as you prove yourself worthy in this matter. A lamp may appear to you when you have achieved specific goals. The being trapped within will grant you a more powerful version of your dissident ability in exchange for freedom.'
