'''Field Spell Cards''', formerly '''Field Magic Cards''' (Japanese: フィールド{{Ruby|魔|ま}}{{Ruby|法|ほう}}カード ''Fīrudo Mahō Kādo''), have the advantage of being able to change the entire state of play for its controller's or for both you and your opponentplayers's side of the field. They are [[Spell Speed 1]]and are placed on the [[Field Zone]], apart from the [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s.

Most Fields center around boosting [[ATK]] and/or [[DEF]] for cards with Specific [[Attribute|Attributes]] s, [[Type]]s or [[Type|TypesArchetype]]s. However, many Field Spells have other effects, such as recycling cards ("[[Madolche Chateau]]", "[[The Grand Spellbook Tower]]"), weakening your the opponent's monsters ("[[Shien's Castle of Mist]]"), searching monsters and/or swarming the field ("[[Naturia Forest]]", "[[Shrine of Mist Valley]]", "[[Scrap Factory]]") or even ''preventing'' the Field from being swarmed ("[[Summon Breaker]]"). Most Field Spells affect all players, but some apply their effects only to your cards/its controller's side of the Field ("[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]", "[[Mount Sylvania]]", "[[Closed Forest]]").

Field Spell Cards must be placed in the [[Field Zone]]. Since March 21st 2014 for the OCG and July 10th 2014 for the TCG, '''both''' players are able to control a single Field Spell Card. Before, it was only possible to have a single Field Spell Card active on either side of the field, and when another one was activated, the previous Field Spell Card would have been [[destroy]]ed via Game Mechanics.

You A player may [[activate]] a Field Spell Card at any time during your their [[Main Phase]]; any card that currently occupies that Field Zone must first be [[send|sent]] to the Graveyard in order to activate a new oneto be activated. You A player can also choose to '''[[Set]]''' set a Field Spell Card (this '''doesn't''' start a chain). Activating a Field Spell Card (from your hand or by flipping it face-up) '''does''' start a Chain.

A Field Spell needs to remain on the field to resolve, so their effect(s) are not applied if they are destroyed before they can resolve (for example, if "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]" or "[[Cosmic Cyclone]]" is chained to that Field Spell Card's activation).

In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime, [[Action Card|Action]] [[Field Spell Card]]s Cards are introduced, where these Field Spell Cards are not real cards but are created with the "Solid Vision with Mass" effect as soon as the Dueling Field is created. However, two Field Spell Cards can be activated as long as the other Field Spell Card is an Action Field Card, seen when [[Sergey Volkov|Sergey]] used the Field Spell "[[Earthbound Tundra]]" when the Action Field Spell Card "[[Crossover Acceleration]]" is activated, during his Duel with [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]].

* "[[Dragon Ravine]]" was the first Field Spell Card to have been [[Forbidden]]. It is now [[Semi-Limited]].** "[[Chicken Game]]" was the second Field Spell Card to be Forbidden, though currently only in the ''[[TCG]]''.* The "[[Ghostrick]]" and "[[Triamid]]" archetypes are currently tied for the most Field Spell Cards of any Archetype, with 3 each ("[[Ghostrick Mansion|Mansion]]", "[[Ghostrick Museum|Museum]]" and "[[Ghostrick Parade|Parade]]" for "Ghostrick" and "[[Triamid Cruiser|Cruiser]]", "[[Triamid Fortress|Fortress]]", and "[[Triamid Kingolem|Kingolem]]" for "Triamid" ).Also, their Field Spell Cards are the only support they have in the form of Spell Cards, don't having any
