MagickBook

There are 22 different Magick combinations that can be found in the game, with 3 additional Magicks that require DLCs to obtain. Magicks are used by queuing up the required elements and pressing the space bar, as opposed to spells created simply by casting element combinations. Magicks have a specific effect such making the caster invisible, reviving a player or slowing down time.

Magicks can be learned automatically (triggered by game events) or by picking up the appropriate Magick Book during game play. There is a Steam Achievement "I put on my robe and wizard hat" for learning all 21 Magicks found in Adventure Mode.

List of Magicks[ | ]

21 of the following Magicks are found in the game during Adventure Mode, as well as being dropped by Sapient Pearwood Luggage during Challenge Mode. QWERTY keycodes assume that the default element keybinds are not changed. One of the following is found in the Vietnam rescue mission. The remaining 7 are found in the Stars Are Left DLC campaign.

Eight Magicks require the player to own various DLCs in order to obtain them in the game. In multiplayer games, only the host of the game needs to own the DLC for all players to be able to obtain the Magicks and for them to have a chance to drop from Sapient Pearwood Luggage.
