Hotseat/cooperative on one computer
Currently, more than one player can play Magicka on the same computer at the same time. One player uses a mouse and keyboard while up to three other players must all use game pads. Alternatively, all players may use game pads.

It may also be possible to use a third party program (from the internet) in windows to emulate a game pad on a second mouse/keyboard combo. This would effectively trick the game into thinking there are extra players with game pads when in reality there would be extra players using a keyboard and mouse connected to the computer.
