Hello everyone, we have updated the Magicka 2: Spell Balance Beta!

You can find it in your library right here on steam.
Here is the list for the beta update that was released today, many bug fixes and other cool stuff have been added.

Added
Ask for revive - Dead players can ask for a revive, also visible in the player ui
Magicks template - you can now have a template just like in Magicka 1
Display death reason/recap on defeat screen
More hints in loading screens

Updated
Increased base movement speed
Novas scale size+damage scale - depends on amount of elements
Pure poison imbuement - does not get removed after 1 attack
Earth/Ice armor protect against knockdown - depending on amount of elements used
Moved visible bound Paradox account - Now visible in settings menu only

Rebalanced
Chapter 2 + boss fight
Chapter 3
Ice shards - reduced damage a bit

We have also fixed a lot of bugs!
 
Novas scale size+damage scale - depends on amount of elements - works only on rocks, not self cast. Intended?
Pure poison imbuement - does not get removed after 1 attack - told you) Shouldn't It be removed by applying life element to yourself?
 
The only thing I'd slightly complain about is that DSSSS has the radius of roughly the size of previous DS, whereas I'd like it to feel much more powerful when I mash four Dearcane. I suppose life/death/arcane area casts retaining flat radius are purely because of some design choices now, I respect that. :)
And there's still no knockback immunity at lvl 4 rock armour.

But otherwise, YES
I can't wait for it to go live!
