Tornado - Summons a whirling tornado at the target location - The tornado pulls in wizards and projectiles that get too close. - Great combo potential although no damage.
Snowball - Throws a snowball projectile in the target direction - Does little pushing and no damage - Leaves a pool of ice on the floor that limits player movement control. - Short cool down allows for lots of skating around.
Random - Cast a random spell from the full list of 20 spells. - You wont know what spell you cast until you cast it. - The only spell at only 2 dust cost so can be used to fill out the suite. - You may cast teleport or you may cast whale, no way of knowing until you try
Bug fixes - Fixed some issues with match making where some users would end up in different rooms due to delays. - Improved handling of crashes when playing online.

Ready to Rumble
Rumble - Rumble added when playing with controllers. - When you are hit the controller now vibrates. - Can be toggled in the settings menu.
D-Pad - After some Feedback from players we have added the option to use the controller D-Pad for hat selection and menu selections. - We agree this makes outfit selection a little more precise.
Spells - The beach ball received the same treatment as bumper car previously, it can no longer unfairly push players out of the arena due to multiple simultaneous collisions. - Reduced the cost of the umbrella shield to 3 Dust - Reduced cost of bookshelf to 4 - Bomb no longer explodes once per client, making it incredibly powerful in multiplayer. - Chicken shotgun optimization and rag doll effect re-added.
Bug fixes - Voidlings spawns are no longer doubled each time you replay the mode, making the game crash if repeated to many times. - Fixed an issue emphasizing the right arrow in mode selection.

Wizard Rumble and Defend the Eye - Shop now has 8 random spells available each round.
Chaos and Roulette - Fixed an issue where the shop would sometimes double spawn, making for some confusion.
Mouse and keyboard controls overhauled - Added cursor for mouse players - Changed response time when turning to make it feel better - Added Icons to match keyboard and mouse controls to spells in crystals and in shop. - Added possibility of playing with keyboard and mouse a long side controllers on same machine. - This means you can play 1 person on keyboard the rest on controllers, so you need less controllers to play.
Spells - Bumper car has reworked to no longer occasionally bump multiple times on impact, sending players flying. - Chickens now have their rag doll effects again.
General - Based on feedback players now have more than 50 ways of dusting, blasting and zapping each other, a big thanks to everyone who came up with words for the dispatching of wizards! - Game now starts on highest graphical quality instead of lowest for new installs. - Found, and fixed a load of bugs - Created some more bugs, fixed most of those too. - Polished the online experience - Some additional quality of life fixes and changes.

Beta update - 0.7.3b - Aug 31st 2018
We have been working on making the online multiplayer experience more intuitive and clearer.
To that end, the first player on each client who join an online game, no longer have to click START for their wizard to appear. Making it much more obvious that you have actually joined the online lobby.
Additionally we have set created rooms to be open by default, making it more straight forward for you to join games, the rooms can still be closed by the host though.
We also had the opportunity to fix some minor issues with online game play, like the materials for hats not appearing as they should.
Beta update Aug. 3rd 2018

Additionally we added a flashing spell icon above the player to let you(and your enemies) know when spells are ready to be used again.
Health bars are now player colour so confusion about who is who is lessened in the heat of battle.
