The Second Rate Sorcery is a community-created special taunt for all classes.
When the player activates the taunt, they will take out a staff with a skull on its top and a tag reading "99¢." The character will attempt to cast a spell, fail to create anything but green sparkles, and then react before putting the wand away or destroying it. Some classes add slight variations on the taunt, such as the Demoman slipping drunkenly before casting a spell and the Pyro seemingly scolding the staff after it fails to cast.
With the exception of the Demoman and Pyro, all classes will voice out a specific magic spell while attempting the taunt.
The Second Rate Sorcery was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Demonstration
Update history
October 21, 2016 Patch (Scream Fortress 2016)
- The Second Rate Sorcery was added to the game.
Bugs
- Executing the taunt while holding the Ullapool Caber will replace the staff with the Ullapool Caber.
Trivia
- Second-rate is a term used to describe something of mediocre or inferior quality. The 99¢ tag on the staff implies it is merely a cheap, dollar store novelty item.
