Quick notes

The wizards share a magical toolkit. Different players cooperate through the same flexible element system.
Vlad guides the absurd journey. Vlad introduces places and events while the humor repeatedly draws attention to his identity.
Major opponents require different tactics. Grimnir, Khan, Fafnir and Death represent distinct encounters.
Keep the base adventure cast separate. Magicka’s DLC adds further scenarios and themed equipment.
