Tap DualSense-R2-Filled R2 or Xbox-TriggerRight-Filled RT to use "Flipendo" iconFlipendo, a basic damage dealing attack. Wizards can also hold down DualSense-R2-Filled R2 or Xbox-TriggerRight-Filled RT to then use one of the mappable face buttons to execute a further four Spells or Abilities of a Wizards choice. Some Abilities, such as "Ancient Magic" iconAncient Magic abilities, will have a charge meter in the bottom right next to the diamond of mapped spells. Once Wizards have collected enough energy from felled enemies, the selected ability can be used, which is powerful to say the least. This can also be built up more efficiently by mastering Spell combos and racking up that combo meter as much as possible.
