Well, I'm still new to magic but I know spells that is said to change you into some creature or something else is not real. And I think shapeshifting and spells to change your eye color are fake. And spells that can make you fly or grow wings and stuff like that are fake to. Curses like changing a person into a frog and stuff like that as well. This is all my knowledge about this. Hope it helped^^
A fluffy spell is a spell that has an impossible intention. For example a spell to become a vampire or to change a person physically. Another way to determine a fake spell is the way is written is it specific to what you want to accomplish. An example would be a spell to give you a good dream yet your calling an evil spirit or an evil god to help you, which makes the spell misleading.
Now let's talk about a correctly written spell. This type of spell will be easy to understand the aim, intentions and most importantly, who the spell is trying to ask. For example are you trying to ask a certain god or goddess to help you, a spirit etc. Also to have clear instructions on how to cast the spell.
Hope I helped :)

If you are new to magick, then spells are not something you should be seeking. Understanding nature the ebb and flow of its energy will inevidably allow you to recognize what spells are worth your time. And once you become adept at understanding, you won't even need to seek out spells from online sources or books, but desire to make your own (which work far better).
It's nice to read other's spells to observe their basic formate and discover a few neat techniques that you can incorporate into your own spellwork, but knowledge is the true power behind magick.
Just use your gut feeling, If it looks like it came from a book or movie or related to that its not real. Basicly trust yourself on what you thinks real or not.
that is the ultimate debate on this site, i must say.
honestly, i dont really think there is a way. its completely up to the reader to say if it is fluffy or not. somebody obviously posted it with the utmost belief that it wasnt fluffy, but it is typecast as fluffy.
all im saying is, it is completely up to you. some spells i know are comepletely fluffy because it is very impossible to achieve the goal in the real world. like the "grow wingz" spell. sure, your spirit MIGHT grow wings, but you yourself will not.
it is completely up to you to decide the difference between fluff and no fluff.

Honestly i have found the easiest way to determine if a spell is real or not....Write it yourself! which ok as a begginer might be something your not ready to accomplish but also like previously stated if you are new to it then you should concentrate on brining the nesseccary energies to you first through meditation and visualization.
