I still say darkmoor level 100 was peak animation for wizard101 spells🤔. They had that dark souls eerie feel to them. Yet still so full of school identity and very articulate with how they looked. From the sound affects to the visualization everything just hit. I legit felt like I was summoning Egyptian God cards with the introduction to shadow magic. The tone shift in the newer spells feel somewhat goofy and lack luster. As if it went from teen titans to teen titans go kind of feel. 😅
I heavily disagree I think thr spells here aren't thr greatest but it feels feels like they went with a feral look they feel closer to a primal feeling
STRONGLY AGREE! Oh my god finally someone said it, mirage spells were better probably as they ticked all of the boxes you mentionned, but these ones, oh my god, just so lame!!! they're destroying the game!
I like the new goofy spells, the game itself has a heavy goofy side to it, and it’s not like it’s the last spells we’ll ever get. As long as W101 has a player base the game will get more updates, new spells and worlds and content
So we have: A myth spell that 'does' fire damage. A death spell that 'does' ice damage A life spell that 'does' storm damage A storm spell that 'does' death damage A fire spell that 'does' life damage An ice spell that 'does' myth damage A balance spell unique
Most of these..... I wonder if there's a team of 2-3 people who design the spells cause 2 of them were really cool and made sense and the rest felt like a collection of throwaway ideas
Honestly I don’t think I’m feeling any of these. None of them are awful, I do appreciate them focusing less on goofy animations since they’ve been a bit excessive with those in recent years, but I miss summoning a powerful looking creature that give off a strong sense of school identity as well. The myth spell looks more like a fire or life spell. I miss how cool spells looked in arc 2, especially the Darkmoor ones which are probably the best set of animations IMO. Polaris/Mirage was probably the last good set of spells/animations in a more traditional sense
ugh this, so much this. Darkmoor had such a good aesthetic and this new type of "goofy" spells are a little too on the nose for me. Glowbugs is the type of "goofy" they should aim for. this is just pushing it.
Imo… they’re keeping spell too aligned with the new world’s theme that they’re released for. It’s like a sacrifice to school identity (and shadow pop identity) for matching the new world aesthetic…
Yeah it's really unfortunate. Do they not understand that kids don't play this game anymore? Snake charmer is my favourite spell in the game. I wish we could get more cool spells like that. Every spell since mirage has been so ridiculous I don't even want to use them.
I love them all except the fire one. The only complaint I have for the myth one is it kinda looks like a fire spell. Other than that it's pretty cool! The death one is really cool I love those flying fish things. The Life one is kind of like ninja pigs and it looks like it'll be an aoe The storm one is probably my favorite. It's so cool and the Quetzals look so smooth and the tidal wave is so freaking cool. Not a fan of the storm one because it's not very serious like the other ones, also the gremlin things look kinda weird. Ice is like evil frog man. It's amazing. Balance is my favorite. Definitely. The camera angles to the cave painting coming to life its all amazing.
I really love the spell animations! Some look a little jank but I hope they'll be ironed out before release. The sad part is theres a very high chance they'll be extremely situational just like the Novus spells. I do like how they're keeping the dual school theme though.
KI has officially ran out of ideas for cool spells. But my favorite one was the fire one. Because I was like, "did that guy just smack that thing with his pe***!?!?!"
@Domi-on3sv oh you're right. After rewarching the video, i was talking about the fire spell and not the life one. I guess my brain got confused after seeing the leprechaun.
@tessameyers4279 lol, i know I watched it 3 times now because the first time i wasnt really looking at it. And the second time is when I realized what I thought i saw wasnt true... and i had to watch it a third time because i thought it was a life spell at first
As a fire main. It does look cool the fire aoe, But it's the only one there come to relation of something old and twist it. Where all the other are new in sensation, which is great. The myth, storm, death and balance sure is my fav in animation and atk finisher. I'm glad all get aoe hits. What they will do beside pure dmg. We will see :)
i know they may not be polished yet since they're still in test but can we talk about the low graphics quality? wiz isn't a fancy looking game but even bugs from darkmoor look way better..
I noticed that the myth spell (the fire koala) hit enemies twice. Probably the first attack will remove shields or place Dots, and second attack will deal main damage. I simply loved Spell of Myth with Fire (The Koala). I'm looking forward to seeing what effects these spells will have on enemies.
I really like almost all of them. The underwhelming part is how they deal damage. Like the death summons these two awesome death creatures that fly around in miasma of decay. Then they just summon random out of nowhere ice cubes that deal damage the same way every centaur rip off does. An example of it should've been done is call of kathrulu. It's attack is something that looks like a being of death would use. Draining the force with this grim red energy, not random ice cube that have nothing to do with the rest of the animation.
Wow. I'm kinda really disappointed. A lot of these really feel like they didn't get enough time in the oven. And that fire one starting with the reused leprechaun asset YIKES
The myth one is fire, the death one is ice, the life one is storm, the ice one is.... I have no clue what that was... but difinetely nothing icy... I am confused and dissapointed.
I think you have the schools flipped? Myth’s dual school isn’t fire, Fire’s is myth. Ice is death’s, Life is fire’s etc. so the first spell should actually be fire school’s, the “death” one should be ice’s, and so on.
Where did this info come out? Is the new world in test realm? Also Ice. I'm an ice wizard and its fair to say we've been getting niced when it comes to new spells
Am I the only one who thinks they are just spouting out random things now? Og wiz spells were the best and I’m disappointed that I get these ass spells after grinding so hard. They should be more creative and dramatic in my opinion. I can’t be the only one
As a main myth this myth spell seems a bit simple, with similar stuff with forest lord, but well, at least they trying to stick to the myth theme. The past one (the flying whale) was to goofy to me, i know thats was refference but c'mon.. i wanna see imponent creatures, i mean, hell!! , thats why i choosed this school god damnit!!. I dont know the KI need to create cringy spells, i know this game was supposed to be a childs game, but right now i doubt it, since everyday is even more pay to "literally everything 😂" , only old players, or people that actually can keep buying their bs still playing it lol. Pd: sorry the amount of bad words
Poor little Gnome how they grave him and put him on his saving money and kick him away and burn his rainbow mount the fire one LOL and i wonder why they put the Pet in Myth school if the spell is literally Fire school the pet should be Fire School don't you think so

Rusalkas wrath to this abomination…
Back when using shadow pips had more of a dark/twisted feel to spells… which was amazing
I like the new goofy spells, the game itself has a heavy goofy side to it, and it’s not like it’s the last spells we’ll ever get. As long as W101 has a player base the game will get more updates, new spells and worlds and content
the myth spell looks so much higher resolution and the flames look so good compared to the other ones .
So we have:
A myth spell that 'does' fire damage.
A death spell that 'does' ice damage
A life spell that 'does' storm damage
A storm spell that 'does' death damage
A fire spell that 'does' life damage
An ice spell that 'does' myth damage
A balance spell unique
I was thinking that, but the fire spell didn't activate the life trap, so I am confused.
Most of these..... I wonder if there's a team of 2-3 people who design the spells cause 2 of them were really cool and made sense and the rest felt like a collection of throwaway ideas
yeah ngl i’m pretty underwhelmed all around; fire is the worst
Honestly I don’t think I’m feeling any of these.

THEY COOOOOOKED! they look so wild and awesome!
2:10 finally balance gets a cool looking spell!
its cool, but its so random. like it the definition of ;
"RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!"
@@shadowscurse6199
No it's aboriginal art (kinda like hieroglyphics) coming to life, which is very balance themed
I just wish the serpent at least changed into a big and colorful snake
@shadowscurse6199 it's very wallaru style. Its the cave drawings on the wallaru rocks coming to life of the rainbow snake.
these are pretty shit in all honesty, lets stop the cope
I love them all except the fire one.
The only complaint I have for the myth one is it kinda looks like a fire spell. Other than that it's pretty cool!
The death one is really cool I love those flying fish things.
The Life one is kind of like ninja pigs and it looks like it'll be an aoe
The storm one is probably my favorite. It's so cool and the Quetzals look so smooth and the tidal wave is so freaking cool.
Not a fan of the storm one because it's not very serious like the other ones, also the gremlin things look kinda weird.
Ice is like evil frog man. It's amazing.
Balance is my favorite. Definitely. The camera angles to the cave painting coming to life its all amazing.
lol the reason the myth looks like a fire one is cause they still doing the dual school bullshit like in novus
So do you like the storm one or not?
@@enriquealvarez6145 oops that was a typo- meant fire lol
The myth one requires a fire pip. These spells (like the fire one requiring a life pip), are dual school spells.
Im glad they’re returning to the more wizardy type spells. Tired of all the circus freaks they’ve been adding in the past 😢😂
I really love the spell animations! Some look a little jank but I hope they'll be ironed out before release.
The sad part is theres a very high chance they'll be extremely situational just like the Novus spells. I do like how they're keeping the dual school theme though.
KI has officially ran out of ideas for cool spells. But my favorite one was the fire one. Because I was like, "did that guy just smack that thing with his pe***!?!?!"
Life one i disliked the most.
@Domi-on3sv oh you're right. After rewarching the video, i was talking about the fire spell and not the life one. I guess my brain got confused after seeing the leprechaun.
It was his skinny lower leg and foot. Lol re-learn your anatomy! 😊
@tessameyers4279 lol, i know I watched it 3 times now because the first time i wasnt really looking at it. And the second time is when I realized what I thought i saw wasnt true... and i had to watch it a third time because i thought it was a life spell at first
I just love how he punts the hell out of it and then they celebrate over killing a leprechaun.
out of them all i'd have to say the life one is the most satisfying!
As a fire main. It does look cool the fire aoe, But it's the only one there come to relation of something old and twist it. Where all the other are new in sensation, which is great. The myth, storm, death and balance sure is my fav in animation and atk finisher.
I'm glad all get aoe hits. What they will do beside pure dmg. We will see :)
i know they may not be polished yet since they're still in test but can we talk about the low graphics quality? wiz isn't a fancy looking game but even bugs from darkmoor look way better..
this was also showcased on their twitch stream so the graphics will look better in game than this video
These spells are actually pretty unique! Great Job Kingsisle ❤
Looks so cool, love the fire one ❤
mirage had the last good looking spells
I’d argue Novus has some pretty banger spells
You have decided to blind yourself to try and see clearly
Myth looks more like a fire spell than the actual fire spell
I wasn’t a fan at first but the more I watch them and immerse myself into the theme I really like them now.
Seeing new spells still gives me the same feeling it did back in 2009.
I noticed that the myth spell (the fire koala) hit enemies twice. Probably the first attack will remove shields or place Dots, and second attack will deal main damage. I simply loved Spell of Myth with Fire (The Koala). I'm looking forward to seeing what effects these spells will have on enemies.
Nope all of the spells are flat damage aoes.
@@TheBryguy515I think that’s only for test realm, and the extra effects would get added by the time the update goes live.
It’s also fitting for myth because that creature is a drop bear, basically an urban myth in Australia of a vicious creature that attacks travelers.
i thought the myth one was fire since the tree is on fire and the storm one really looks like another tempest to me
I really like almost all of them. The underwhelming part is how they deal damage.
Like the death summons these two awesome death creatures that fly around in miasma of decay. Then they just summon random out of nowhere ice cubes that deal damage the same way every centaur rip off does.

The myth looks amazing
I really like the fire one.
That wasnt fire it was myth
@@kenonjames1551or maybe he was referring to the fire one dipshit???
@kenonjames1551 what are you talking about 💀
@@kenonjames1551no that wasnt myth, that was ice
Ooh I really like the ice one!!
So far my favorites are Death, Storm and Balance spells. :)
The Storm and Ice ones are my favs from these
Once again storm and fire be getting the best looking ones… but balance looks really cool as well
Get back darkmoor spells ideas for you new spells
Love the ice balance and storm one the most
Lame, I miss spells like triton and fire dragon that really hammered in the school identity aspect
The Pink Balance spell 💗yessss so pretty!!!
I really liked the balance one
Wow. I'm kinda really disappointed. A lot of these really feel like they didn't get enough time in the oven. And that fire one starting with the reused leprechaun asset YIKES
The myth one is fire, the death one is ice, the life one is storm, the ice one is.... I have no clue what that was... but difinetely nothing icy...
I am confused and dissapointed.
0:20 evil Mort from Madagascar
The life koala’s face was genuinely a jump scare
Omgg the myth spell i love it alrey 😍😍
N the ice omg
Yet again i like them all so far 😂
these look soooo bad
All look nice let's hope they re useful also
The fire one was making me laugh, like they bullied the crap outta the leprechaun😂🤣
these definitely have dual school vibes to them
Whats up with the ToonTown type animations
THE ICE ONE IS SO COOL
THE MYTH ONE IS SO FUNNY LMFAO
these are all so silly tho fr
Feels like they're trying less and less on these new spell updates for new worlds
all other schools: edgy anime battle scenes
fire: boys locker room
TBH since they made school trees into spells, it would be really cool if they make the school teachers into a spell in the future :)
The balance one was really cool
It's God damn 2023 it's time this game/ company take use of the technologies out there to up there graphics and animation geez
Ah, another wave attack for storm... sooo creative
Myth spell looks like a fire spell
Favorites of mine 1. Storm 2 Death 3. Myth 4 Balance 5. Fire 6.ice 7. Life
I have no contradiction cuz this is a clear upgrade for a life main from a space tentacle egg
“Which one was your favorite?”
- neither
Ice and Death followed by myth are best
I love the fire one but how come most of the fire spells for the past 5 or 6 worlds have been various “little guys?” Where are death’s little guys??
I either like the Imps or the Vampire Frog.
The fire one just doesn’t seem right
I think you have the schools flipped? Myth’s dual school isn’t fire, Fire’s is myth. Ice is death’s, Life is fire’s etc. so the first spell should actually be fire school’s, the “death” one should be ice’s, and so on.
no, these aren’t flipped. if you look at the resist before the spells do damage, it shows you which school is hitting
Ranking visual (my opinion) :
- 1. Death
-2. Balance / Storm
- 3. Ice
- 4. Myth
- 5. Fire
- 6. Life
Where did this info come out? Is the new world in test realm? Also Ice. I'm an ice wizard and its fair to say we've been getting niced when it comes to new spells
Ice one was really cool
Tbh none of these was actually that good
why do all of these look like storm spells or fire spells honestly-
dual school spells again LOL
@@faeriequeens NOOOOO KI I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THOSE😭😭
Am I the only one who thinks they are just spouting out random things now? Og wiz spells were the best and I’m disappointed that I get these ass spells after grinding so hard. They should be more creative and dramatic in my opinion. I can’t be the only one
Can Kingsisle do ANYTHING unique for death school spell animations aside from black whisps or goop!
As a main myth
this myth spell seems a bit simple, with similar stuff with forest lord, but well, at least they trying to stick to the myth theme.
The past one (the flying whale) was to goofy to me, i know thats was refference but c'mon..
i wanna see imponent creatures, i mean, hell!! , thats why i choosed this school god damnit!!.
I dont know the KI need to create cringy spells, i know this game was supposed to be a childs game, but right now i doubt it, since everyday is even more pay to "literally everything 😂" , only old players, or people that actually can keep buying their bs still playing it lol.
Pd: sorry the amount of bad words
I love them all
My favorite spell is life. ❤🎉
as a balance... i dont like that balance spell :(
The Myth Spell, in my opinion, is the best of them all.
these are sick
The fire one is hilarious
fire or ice
i like the ice ine
wow the fire one may be the worst looking spell in the game.. wtf is that
Ngl the death one is a little disappointing. But otherwise these are really cool
Death one looks awesome bro its looks terrifying
@@WeyardWiz I’m just not a fan of the freezing thing. It’s just not death enough. Everything else is awesome and the fish look great
Whoa!!
Fire kinda reminds me of Gremlins.
LMAO this is the first time a new set of w101 spells come out and all the w101 tubers are deactive to post
Oh yea hahah Blaze lifehammer
not me :D
Poor little Gnome how they grave him and put him on his saving money and kick him away and burn his rainbow mount the fire one LOL and i wonder why they put the Pet in Myth school if the spell is literally Fire school the pet should be Fire School don't you think so
I hate the death one they need to change it waste of a spell
Ice was hard 😅
Why they do my mans Lucky Charm like that tho????😢
Ice spell is frog Muzan from demon slayer?
I dont like the fire one the myth spell should of been fire and fire the myth spell smh
I don't like the death one :(
death one is mid fr
Another year, another dorky comical spell for all the schools. Maybe next year
just imo, istg KI doesnt care about Fire, animations are so bad like the Novus fire spell
Ice is the best tbh
I didn't particularly like any of them!
Myth, life, and ice are good. Rest are trash
Fire is hilarious
They’re terrible! I think fire is okay.. but the rest are terrible! They literally ran out of ideas
yeah they mid
LIFE OMG
These spells look terrible.
wtf did i just watch
Sorry but they’re doing way too much in my opinion.
Cheap animations :(
this game is suffering from outdated graphical animations
