I boughted the game the other day on steam for £5 on steam and it was certainly a bargain, but playing it solo it is quite a hard game, and haven't found an online adventure game that, that i haven't been kicked from due to "athentication" problem, i'm on chapter 11 atm in the lava bit and died just before i got to the dragon after fighting my way through, so i was pissed off, okay thats my fault for dying, but then frustrated pushing back through it again i died a number of times due to bloody inspecting a bloody troll statue in the middle of a fight!, wtf seriously, that game takes the biscuit sometimes.

Magicka is certainly a game that is hard to play, it took me a while before I succeeded the campaign and understood how to master the spell system.
Use the wiki to learn what you can do and memorize some spells and magicks (and learn how to defend yourself from some spells and from your own magicks too). The rest is a learning curve I guess.
Dying is normal, it is part of the game ! LOL, but I agree you die oftenly for stupid reasons.
Congratulation on reaching so far already though, it's already hard to reach that far.
Can't tell you how many times I died myself.
For the multi, I have the same problem, it is really hard to configure everything to succeed to get into a game or to even create a game... Finally, I did like most poeple (I think), I just invite poeple or get invited through the Steam system (with Shift+Tab I believe) and that's where you don't get problems anymore.

Oh I see what statue you're talking about.. that one's annoying...
Note that on that level you can exploit water spells like DQQQQ to push enemies into the lava and 1 spot them (just insure you have a rock or ice armor on you though, or you'll kill yourself far too often).
Well, Cavan, please bear in mind that you belong to the 15.3% of Magicka owners who got this far. Four in five people who bother playing Magicka at all haven't beaten Death yet.
That's not too bad, is it?

Yeah, I am among them
Well, Death isn't really that hard actually, once you get the "trick" you just keep spamming the same spell and you get it pretty quicky but you have to find the "trick"
I thought in the end that the Death level is harder than the boss itself... Well, that is when I re-did the game because I think I cursed a lot to find how to kill it.
And I confirm what SanitySlayer said, use rock armor + Water Spells to push everybody in the lava. My favorite is QQQQQ in area with Shift + Right click, it's faster to cast IMHO and use the speed magick to come closer to monsters faster because the rock armor slows you like hell
