changedPlayers can cast six different types of magic in MageWorks. Beyond the different schools of magic, there are also five different types of magic to cast. A 'Bolt' spell is a single ranged shot. A 'Snare' spell will root an enemy. A melee spell is a short ranged high mana - high damage spell. A shield spell protects players from incoming aggressors and projectiles. Last but not least, players can summon pets! Each spell class has their own pet to summon and reflects the type of environment they came from.

addedPets are designed to allow players to take on more than they can usually handle in spell combat. Pets can tank a distant enemy that a player might not be able to get to. They can add that extra firepower when enemies don't seem to drop. And they can keep you company either at home in their summoning throne over at the spell library, or while out exploring looking for new spells to discover.

addedThe beginnings of a customization system is in the works that will put pets in more of a central role. With cosmetic armor additions in production, players will be able to adorn their pets with various items to make their pet experience unique, create a more compelling emotional commitment to their pet, and to add that extra element of fun to their creation with 3d printing! While players can now print their staff creations from one side of their mage hub, players will also be able to 3d print their pet to hold their staff in reality :)

So, why should I summon a pet in MageWorks?

Pets are designed to allow players to take on more than they can usually handle in spell combat. Pets can tank a distant enemy that a player might not be able to get to. They can add that extra firepower when enemies don't seem to drop. And they can keep you company either at home in their summoning throne over at the spell library, or while out exploring looking for new spells to discover.

This game is a work in progress, so what can I expect next for my pet?
