The Second Rate Sorcery is a community-created special taunt for all classes.
When activated, the character takes out a staff made of bone, topped with purplish feathers and then a horned skull, and a tag reading "99¢." They attempt to cast a spell, fail to create anything but green sparkling particle effects, and then react before putting the staff away, destroying it, or throwing it away.
For the voice lines and animations of each class, please refer to the respective class taunts articles.
The Second Rate Sorcery was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Demonstration
Update history
October 21, 2016 Patch 1 (Scream Fortress VIII)
- The Second Rate Sorcery was added to the game.
- Updated the description.
Bugs
- Executing the taunt while holding the Ullapool Caber replaces the staff with the Ullapool Caber.
- Leaving the Demoman's loadout menu while executing the taunt after the wand breaks fully plays the "...gonna take down to the pain train station in train town..." voice line instead of cutting it off.
Trivia
- "Second-rate" is a term used to describe something of mediocre or inferior quality. The 99¢ tag on the staff implies it is merely a cheap, dollar store novelty item.
