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