Revision as of 21:15, 31 October 2013

When playing on Helltower, players who have the Spellbook Magazine, Fancy Spellbook or the Fireproof Secret Diary equipped can cast spells that appear while the carts are being pushed, enemies are killed or during the "Witching Hour". The spells vary greatly, from launching a player into the air to turning invisible. Normal spells are found by pushing the cart or by killing an enemy. They also spawn randomly around the map during Witching Hour. Ultimate spells are found by crossing the bridge during the Witching Hour, killing the Skeleton King, or can be found in Hell. All Ultimate Spells only have a single charge, and gaining and using one unlocks the "Helltower: Hell's Spells" achievement. All spell effects are team-colored, and each spell has its own killfeed icon. Some spells can be reflected.

Normal Spells

Fireball: Two charges. Shoots a ball of fire that sets enemies on fire in a large radius. Not affected by gravity, similar to rockets.

Teleport: Three charges. Fires a dark smoke-like ball that teleports the user to wherever it lands when it comes in contact with a surface. The projectile arcs under gravity. Hitting the ground under an enemy player will result in a telefrag. Cannot be used to enter the enemy spawnroom.

Superjump: Two charges. Propels the user into the air, high enough that falling damage will result. Can be used in the air.

Healing Aura: Single charge. ÜberCharges the player and all allies in a small area for 0.5 seconds, and quickly refills their health up to an overhealed amount.

Ball O' Bats: Two charges. Shoots a ball that explodes in a small radius upon impact. Enemies hit will be assaulted by bats, causing them to fly into the air and bleed.

Pumpkin MIRV: Single charge. Throws a bomb that produces a ring of small team-coloured pumpkin bombs once it hits something. The pumpking bombs produced only explode for damage when shot by the team of ownership; if shot by the other team they simply disappear.

Invisibility: Single charge. Temporarily cloaks the user, who remains fully able to attack.

Ultimate Spells

Summon MONOCULUS: Fires a skull at the area. Upon impact, summons a team-colored MONOCULUS (smaller than the normal MONOCULUS) that begins to attack enemies. Should both teams summon a MONOCULUS, they may attack each other.

Summon Skeletons: Fires a skull at the area. Upon impact, explodes into several team-coloured skeletons which begin to attack enemies. Skeletons persist until they are destroyed.

Tesla Bolt: Fires a wave of electricity that continuously damages enemies it touches and sucks them in.

Meteor Shower: Fires a fire ball. Upon impact, summons several meteors above the targeted area, which do massive damage to enemies in a range about 1.5 times the size of a capture point.

Minify: Causes the user to shrink and gain a big head. Results in the user becoming more difficult to hit, in addition to providing a speed boost, firing speed boost, reload speed boost, infinite double jumps, and third-person camera. Small players can also enter tiny passages, of which there are two in Helltower that teleport players between them.
