The English original reverts to the pattern first found in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 3 (books for grades 1, 2, and 4 put the grade in parentheses).

The Chinese Mainland and Taiwanese versions continue to maintain the pattern followed almost without change from the first volume (The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1)). However, the Mainland translator at one mention does vary the title, resulting in a title identical to the Taiwanese translation.

Japanese follows the style found at The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 4).

The Vietnamese title alters the formula used in earlier titles, another example of poor consistency within the translations. By substituting tiêu chuẩn 'standard' for the original căn bản 'basic', the title of this fifth book of spells moves almost totally away from the original Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1).
