Possession Mode
Our take on multiplayer. Instead of controlling another wizard, your friends can use the keyboard or plug in a controller to take command of the worlds NPCs with mostly full control. With such a wide variety of enemies and friendly NPCs there is always some way to help or hinder your wizard friend.

Chaotic Spells
That's right, your spells have unpredictable effects. Chosen at random from a very long list of possibilities. Sheer chance can turn a dire situation into a triumphant victory, or bring even the most powerful wizard to their knees. There can be control over said effects to some extent using an assortment of collected items, however don't count on your attacks always hurting your enemies.
