When you start a game ofMage Arena, you spawn in a castle with a bunch of items. However, the most important item in the game is the spellbook and the torn pages that hold spells. You can cast these spells by speaking their name out, as long as the game detects what you’re saying.
There are a total of nine spells in the game, and each one does something unique. If you want to have the highest chance of winning, you’d want to know what each spell does and how you’re able to get new spells while playing.

Fires a small projectile that goes in a straight line. If this hits an enemy, theyget frozen in place for quite a long time.
