The Best Spells in Magicka

These are fairly standard spells. They can be crossed with firnds to do insane damage. Note that the more elements you have the slower your character is to turn.

QFQFSAA - Steam/Lightning
This should be your go to beam. It does great damage and is relatively easy to type.

QRASF - Water/Lightning
Great damage.

I suggest you enchant your weapon with these.

ESRA - Ice
This should be your go to mine spell, it's easy to remember (reverse the input) while doing great damge while chilling your enemies.

WE - Heal
Great healing.

ESQF - Steam
Good damage. Wets the opponent.

EQRQRS - Ice
Exploding ice shards. Great damage

EDFFF - Fire
Volcanoes. Good utility, good damage.

These are channeling earth based spells which do massive damage. The longer you channel the spell the more damage they do.

DSQRQRQR - Ice
Bomb. Great damage. Chills the target.

DSRSR - Ice
Area of effect variant of the previous spell.

QRQRQRAS - Ice
Ice shards. Great damage.

Attach these to your wepon using shift-left click which does rediculous damage

QRQRQR - Ice
Ice sword slash. Good damage. Decent range.

These will keep you alive, middle click to cast them on yourself

QFSAFE - Steam/Fire/Electrcity/Arcane
Great elemental resistance to protect yourself from your own spells. Easy to remember with QF SAFE.

DE - Rock
Great shield. More earth elements can be added for a stronger shield however this makes you move a lot slower. Note that this shield prevents healing.
