Released in 2011, Magicka (in the common people "Magic") received high marks from critics and recognition from players. This is largely due to the non-standard control scheme, in which it is not so easy even to put protection.

Instructions
Step 1
Pay attention to the list of elements. By default, each item will be called by the key (Q-W-E-R-A-S-D-F) corresponding to the item's position in the list. The element of protection is depicted in a yellow circle with a shield inside, called by the E key. Note that you can create protective spells by combining this and other elements.
Step 2
Select "protect" and press the mouse wheel (middle button). Your character is covered with a yellow outline, and now he has two stripes of lives. Please note that if you cast a protection spell again, your "armor" will disappear. It also disappears when taking damage and just over time. To maintain its vitality, you need to regularly call "treatment" and also apply on yourself with the middle button.
Step 3
Protection can also be external. To do this, by selecting the appropriate element, click not on yourself, but with the right mouse button around the character. This will create a small shield for 5-7 seconds, which will reflect the attacks of magicians and prevent enemies from reaching you (note that you can bypass the shield, but you cannot create two at once). If you are playing in co-op, then such a protective screen will be an excellent mirror for the second player's beam attacks. The player on the other side can shoot in your direction without a twinge of conscience, destroying enemies and not injuring you.
Step 4
Don't limit yourself to protecting only yourself. There are a great many ways to "put protection" in magic, and they are achieved primarily by combining the elements. At the initial stages of the game, the most useful skill will be the combination "E-S" (defense + astral), which will create several mines in front of the character. Running away from enemies and constantly creating new mines, you can delay their advance up to ten seconds, which will be spent on methodically firing at opponents.
Step 5
Do not overlook other combinations of defenses: with a stone (it will cause a stone wall, impassable and hard to penetrate), with water (it will create rain to fight fiery enemies), with fire (it will create a small wall of fire), and so on. Given the combinatorial system, it is impossible to describe all the options for how to put protection in magic, take into account the general principle: something will appear in front of you, more or less corresponding to the elements and will act as a protection for you.
