When playing on Helltower, players who have the Spellbook Magazine, Fancy Spellbook or the Fireproof Secret Diary equipped can cast Magic Spells that appear while the carts are being pushed, when enemies are killed or during the "Witching Hour". These Magic Spells vary greatly, from launching a player into the air to turning invisible.
Normal Magic Spells can be found by pushing the cart, killing an enemy and will spawn randomly around the map during Witching Hour. Rare Magic Spells are found by crossing the bridges to the clocktower during the Witching Hour, killing the Skeleton King, or can be found in Hell. All Rare Magic Spells only have a single charge, and gaining and using one unlocks the "Helltower: Hell's Spells" achievement. All Magic Spell effects are team-colored, and each has its own killfeed icon.

Teleport: Three charges. Fires a dark smoke-like ball that teleports the spell-caster to wherever it lands when it comes in contact with a surface. The projectile arcs under gravity. Hitting the ground under an enemy player will result in a telefrag. Cannot be used to enter the enemy spawnroom.

Pumpkin MIRV: Single charge. Throws a bomb that produces a ring of small team-colored pumpkin bombs once it hits something. The pumpkin bombs produced will only explode and deal damage when shot by the spell-caster's team; if they are shot by the other team they simply disappear.

Rare Magic Spells
Summon MONOCULUS: Fires a skull at the area. Upon impact, summons a ghostly team-colored MONOCULUS (smaller than the normal MONOCULUS) that begins to attack enemies. Should both teams summon a MONOCULUS, they may attack each other.

Minify: Causes the spell-caster to shrink and gain a big head. Results in the spell-caster becoming more difficult to hit, in addition to gaining a speed boost, firing speed boost, reload speed boost, unlimited jumps, and switching over to third-person camera. Spell-casters under the effect of Minify can also enter tiny tunnels that teleports them to opposite ends of the map.
