Features
Spells and Wands
You can store spells inside of wands. Casting spells is useful in a lot of different scenarios, even outside of combat. Casting spells costs mana that regenerates overtime.
Trinkets
Items when equipped (by right-clicking) grants an unique passive ability. You can only equip one at a time but you can swap them depending on the situation.
Spectres
Little specs of light that spawn during night time. They give either XP, Spells or Trinket Boxes. The more of the moon is exposed the more spectres will spawn.
Flying Brooms
A new method of transportation, very popular among witches and wizards.
Item Delivery
Craft delivery boxes to send items to other players wherever they are in the world.
Waypoints
Waypoints store experience to generate an item called a Teleporter. When the teleporter is used, it restores your exp and teleports you (and other players close by) back to the waypoint. Note : You can't use waypoints to travel between dimensions.
Duel-O-Lanterns
Once two players place their bet inside a Duel-O-Lantern, a magic duel can start. Use spells, trinkets, invocations and any creative strategies that comes to your mind to get the advantage over your opponent. Winner takes all !
