+### Enum vs. Enum Class
+
+Enum classes are prefered to be used as they can cause fewer suprises that could lead to bugs as the enum will not implicitly convert to other types like integer or other enums.
+
+```cpp
+enum class Spell : uint32
+{
+    One   = 1111,
+    Two   = 2222,
+    Three = 3333
+}
+```

 ### Standard prefixes for constants
 
 All constants that we store have a standardized prefix.
