Wand Duel
Pick one of six wizards and step into the circle. Move in and out of range, cast spark bolts, raise your shield at the right moment and unleash your wizard's own super spell. A Duelmaster on the dais calls every hit in Latin and signals it with a lantern staff. The first to the point limit wins.
| Wizard | Super spell |
|---|---|
| Orin Ashgrove | Starfall: three stars fall where you stand. Step out of the shadow. |
| Kael Emberforge | Phoenix: a firebird that burns through a shield. |
| Bram Thornwood | Rootbind: vines hold you in place. Mash to break free. |
| Selene Frostmere | Mirror Ward: an ice mirror throws back every bolt. |
| Nyra Voss | Storm Lash: thunder gathers, then lightning strikes. |
| Mira Quickfern | Triple Volley: three quick bolts in a row. |
New to duelling? Starter mode keeps it to step, cast, shield and your super spell. Bolts fly a little slower and a gold hint tells you when to shield and when your spell is ready.
Expert mode adds the charged blast, the blink, reflecting bolts with a perfectly timed shield, and 5, 7 or 10 point duels. Step out of the circle and the point goes to your opponent.
Play against the bot on Easy, Medium or Hard, or duel a friend on the same device.
