Items

Throughout the course of Magicka, many items can be picked up and used in place of the player's staff and hand weapon. Most have a special ability or two, and are more like power-ups than "gear" in the traditional sense as they are dropped when you die and gone entirely from a playthrough if your character falls off a cliff or drowns. Items may have passive abilities and/or active abilities (used by pressing the self-cast button when no elements have been charged). The firearms found in Magicka: Vietnam and the M60 are special cases.

Note that different Wizard Models start with different items equipped.
