Video settings
- The Decal Limit value sets the decal's decay rate before disappearing. It should be set to Off for the best effect.
Input settings
Controller support
- The game has built in support for controllers, but the default controls for spellcasting are so obtuse (right stick to any four main directions and 1/4 to either side) that use of the keyboard is recommended.
- Third party scripts have been created to apply a much more sane control scheme for use with controllers, and can be found here.
Audio settings
- Chapter introductions are spoken normally; language spoken in-game is gibberish.

Intel integrated graphics cards are not recommended for playing Magicka. Playing on an Intel 2000 is neigh unplayable, while playing on an Intel 3000 is possible with reduced resolution and noticeable frame rate drops. Arrowhead Game Studios recommends avoiding integrated graphics cards. |
