Plot

Opening

The opening of Magicka 2 starts with a backstory, how 1 through 4 wizards from the Order of Magick saved Midgard from certain doom multiple times (the story of Magicka). Due to this success, the Order of Magick decided to expand by founding multiple wizard schools all over Midgard. However, conflict between the schools grew, eventually sparking the Wizard Wars. The aftermath of the wars resulted in many wizards decimated, and those who survived tread the shadows of their former glory. Without wizards destroying the human's way of life, the Golden Age of Man has begun. During this period of calmness, a seer named Nostrir the Soothslayer has prophesied that a child, infused with magick from the magickal residue caused by the Wizard Wars, was born somewhere in Midgard. This very child, once of age, will lead Midgard into a better place, free of suffering. However, the prophesy also told that an opposing force would seek to prevent the child from realizing her power. Vlad, back from his multi-decade vacation, returns to Aldrheim only to find the castle in ruins. Hearing Nostrir's prophesy, Vlad decides to guide 1 through 4 wizards from the ruins of Aldrheim to save the prophesied child.
