Magicka Celebrates One Year Anniversary, More Than One Million Copies Sold

Magicka_Confuse

and Arrowhead Game Studios has announced that their Norse-mythology-based fantasy title Magicka has reached its one year mark as of last Friday. With over 1.3 million copies sold, the indie game has spellbound users with expansions such as Magicka: Vietnam, which has gone on to sell more than 500,000 copies, and various releases which have been downloaded over 4 million times.

To commemorate the milestone, the developers have created a new Magick called the “Confuse spell”, which is to all players. Minimal details of this new spell have been made available, but based on the screenshots provided by Paradox, the effects appear to create a diversion with enemies rendered in a state of perplexed enchantment, as yellow question marks float curiously above their heads.

Fans can also anticipate a new , The Other Side of the Coin, which is due to come out later this spring. As the name of the installment indicates, wizards will take on an antagonistic role this time as commanders of Alucart the Vampire and his legion of Necromancers. In true villain fashion, their robes and hats will be replaced by imposing, 70’s style collared black capes.

A demo of Magicka is also available on Steam at http://store.steampowered.com/app/42910.

    I am presently carrying out the “Vahtacen’s Secret” quest in oblivion for the mages guild. I located a harm magicka on contact scroll in the chest, but it did not operate on the pillar. Does it need to be on target? I purchased a harm magicka on target spell but my destruction skill is not high sufficient to use it yet. Are there any other scrolls in the game like this?If so, where are they?

    I am level 39, Destruction skill is 43. My max magicka is 174. However, when you appear at the spell, below the lightning icon, it reads 2980, way greater than my restrict of 174! When I degree up my Destruction skill, this 2980 range only decreases by about 40 points. Does it lessen additional when you hit Journeyman, Expert, and Grasp level?

    Fairly self explanatory. My graphic card isn’t really very good, so i was pondering i could perhaps reduce the graphic standards, or if i would have to acquire a new graphic card. If it helps, I only have Magicka demo as of now.

    I am presently carrying out the “Vahtacen’s Secret” quest in oblivion for the mages guild. I discovered a harm magicka on contact scroll in the chest, but it did not work on the pillar. Does it need to be on target? I acquired a damage magicka on focus on spell but my destruction ability is not large adequate to use it yet. Are there any other scrolls in the video game like this?If so, exactly where are they?
