Cosmic Magus

Cosmic Magus is a spellcasting game about a powerful wizard trapped in a time loop at the centre of the universe. As enemy warlocks attack, you wait for them to cast spells, then copy those spells and use them to defend yourself. The loop erases the wizard’s memories of the spells he has learned, so you must respond to the enemies’ magic as it comes.

Survive the waves

You face endless waves of warlocks in fast-paced combat built around dodging and casting spells. Enemies grow stronger and arrive in greater numbers as time passes, while your spells all affect areas. There is no time limit: you can keep playing as long as you survive.

Battles take place across levels inspired by pop culture, including maps based on Norse mythology and The Lord of the Rings. Spellcasting can turn chaotic, and you must avoid falling off the edge.

Copy and cast spells

The spells currently in the game include:

• Arcane Bolt: fire an arcane ball at the mouse position, disintegrating any enemy it hits.
• Frostbite: after a two-second delay, raise spikes from the ground at the mouse position to kill or freeze anything they hit.
• Icicle: shoot an icicle at the mouse position. It drags the first unit it hits and kills units it collides with afterward; if it hits a wall, the impaled unit dies.
• Blink: teleport instantly to the mouse position.
• Impale: send a wave of impaling crystals forward from the player toward the mouse position.
• Piano: throw a piano into the sky; after a 1.5-second delay, it arcs down to the mouse position.
• Solar Slash: channel briefly, then rush forward at high speed, disintegrating enemies you collide with.
• Reflect: when timed correctly, send projectiles back toward the mouse position.
• Boomerang: fire a projectile along an arc; it returns to the player and kills anything it collides with.
• Brambles: create brambles in a targeted area that slow anything within their radius.
• Morph: transform into a random object.
• Lava Pit: create a pit of lava that grows over time and kills enemies that come within its radius.
