Plenty of games have magic. Players love slinging spells at unsuspecting foes. Whether it's fire, ice, wind, or electricity, elemental combat nearly always gets a smile out of gamers. However, some developers aren't content with that.

On top of the usual magic systems, certain games let players combine spells. The method of this fusion varies from title to title, but the effects are reliably devastating every time. Apparently, strength in numbers applies to magic as well as people.

7 Magicka

Magic is literally the name of the game, so it makes sense to have a deep spell system in place. This title involves queuing multiple elemental spells to hurl at opponents. Players can stack up to five, which means they have countless combinations and permutations to choose from. That variety becomes clear when channeling these elements.

Players can wield these combos in several forms. They can create beams, sprays, and other projectiles. Alternatively, the magic could also go to imbuing weapons or conjuring shields. What these all have in common is that their efficacy hinges on the right mix of magic.

6 Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

Each Final Fantasy title handles magic differently. Crystal Chronicles opts for magicite. The heroes collect these mystical gems throughout the game, and players use the treasures to cast spells. They aren't limited to one at a time, though.

Casters can combine magicite. Crystal Chronicles actually requires this for the more complex magic. Of course, players stack the same spell for its high-tier versions, such as Thundaga. However, they must also mix different elements to produce specialized magic like Gravity and Holy. Considering how instrumental these can be for some enemies, fans had best remember the combinations.

5 Castlevania: Circle Of The Moon

Magic in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon

Most Castlevania games boil down to platforming and slaying monsters with a whip or sword. Circle of the Moon tries innovating that simple formula with a card system. Protagonist Nathan Graves collects them from vanquished enemies, falling into the Action or Attribute type. The latter deals with the elements while the former details what effect those elements have.

Mixing these two card types is how players use special attacks. Nathan might imbue his whip with fire, or he may summon a spiritual ally. These combos may even grant temporary stat buffs. It all comes down to picking the right cards.

4 Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories

The second Kingdom Hearts entry switches up the established spell system by once again going the card route. Chain of Memories boils Sora and Riku's skills down to these little collectibles. A key mechanic involves grouping them together in moves called "sleights." Doing this with magic cards typically sees the heroes cast spells in rapid succession, but that's not always the case.

Some combos result in flashier sleights. Playing a Fire card with a Donald Duck card sees the Disney character shoot flames at enemies. Playing Blizzard, Aero, and Fire cards activates Aqua Splash, which covers opponents in freezing rain. Many villains specialize in magic themselves. Breaking out the right spell can mean the difference between an insurmountable nightmare and a total breeze.

3 Dragon Age: Origins

The Dragon Age titles thrive on their dark fantasy roots. As such, the magic would be equally unfriendly. That extends to the combinations, which can destroy enemies in truly sadistic ways. There are the obvious ones, like using Grease with Fire to create a more powerful blaze, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Dragon Age: Origins encourages players to be more imaginative in their magical murder. For instance, they could cast Death Hex over a Death Cloud. This yields an Entropic Death which deals spiritual damage. Those who understand Dragon Age's magic system can concoct several such lethal combos, reducing opponents to quivering husks.

2 The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

The magic of the fifth Elder Scrolls entry is relatively rudimentary, but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. Pursuing magic perks in Skyrim can make players' hands into weapons, enabling them to shoot elemental streams at enemies. These come in fire, ice, and lightning, but why pick just one?

Dedicated mages can assign a separate element to each hand. This lets them pelt targets with two spells at once. Foes can feel a flamethrower's heat and a blizzard's chill at the same time. In short, they suffer death by two extremes.

1 Spellbreak

This magic bonanza puts players on the receiving end of spell combos. Spellbreak is an epic battle royale that revels in absolute destruction. Just a single spell is enough to fill the entire screen, but that's just the beginning.

Combining these elements is akin to a cataclysm. Mixing wind and stone makes a tornado rife with deadly debris. Lightning and poison create a toxic electrical cloud. The sky's the limit here. Virtually any spell can complement another, and the resulting effect is awe-inspiring. Pity any poor soul caught in these conjured catastrophes.
