Marvel Avengers: Battle For Earth

My previous post was on Stan Lee. This post is on a video game that was based off of the comics.


If you are a comic book and video game fan, like me, you would know what the Skrulls are. If you don't, A Skrull is a shape shifting alien capable of mimicking any super heroes' powers (although the Super Skrull can use several different powers all at the same time.). In the Avengers TV show, The Skrulls try to take over the world because they believe they are the rightful owners of Earth, using their shape-shifting powers to infiltrate the biggest organizations on the planet. They can copy your appearance, voice, physical abilities, personality and even you memories. The only hard part for them is kidnapping the person they are copying and taking them prisoner on their flagship (which I guess is too far away to see in space like the ship is hiding in the shadows. Like a Crocodile sneaking around in the water, waiting for something to come too close to the water's edge.). The game focus' during the Skrulls' "Secret Invasion".



Here's a List of some of the 20 playable characters that I know of.

• Captain America - Can't have an Avengers Super Hero Game without the very first Avenger! A shield made of Vibraniom (fictional metal), Enhanced abilities, and Kung Fu make Captain America the supremely awesome super soldier he is!
• Spider-Man - Spider-Man is back! After his latest appearance in the video game The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), Spider-Man swings into action! See what I did there? I used the word "swing" because Spider-Man has a web swing. BOOM!!!!
• Venom - When there's Spider-Man, there's Venom! Edward Brock Jr. got his hands on ALIEN SYMBIOTE!!!!!!!!!!!! You know.....Because Eddie merged with ALIEN SYMBIOTE, and the results resulted in creating Venom. DOUBLE BOOM!!!!!! Anyway, Venom's got new ways to attack with his Tendrils.
• Super Skrull - Yes the Super Skrull mentioned in the parentheses in the paragraph above is playable. He's restricted to use only the Fantastic Four's powers though. Super Skrull also has a cool SUPER ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! He launches the foe high into the air, and punches them in the face repeatedly until they both land. Yet again, ALL characters can do that. Hulk, Thor, and Captain America smash the foe against the ground after landing. Loki, Magneto, Phoenix, Dr. Doom, and Dr. Strange shoot projectiles at the foe instead of launching them with Hand to Hand combat.
• Wolverine - What do you get when you mix a mutant that can make claws come out of his knuckles, Adamantiom bones, and a LOT of attitude? You get Wolverine!!!! BOOM!!!!! Anyway, he has lightning fast attacks. Doesn't the phrases "Fast as Lightning" and "Kung Fu Fighting" make you think of a song? I have to look up that Kung Fu Fighting song. Wolverine is still awesome though.
• Dr. Strange - The Sorcerer Supreme is here!!! Dr. Strange is a wizard. Yeah, that's right. The kind that guides heroes on some epic quest, but still has the ability to make bizarre things happen. Like making swords appear out of thin air.  Since some of you never heard of him, here's his back story made short. Medical Dr. Strange got in a car accident and broke both of his hands. He went to freezing cold mountains because the old Sorcerer Supreme said he could heal his hands should he go there. The Sorcerer Supreme taught wizardry to him. Quite simple. In order for magic to work, you just need to believe in yourself and believe the task is easy. Now he protects not just our UNIVERSE, But the entire MULTIVERSE!!!! Multiverse!!! Multiverse!! Multiverse! I did the echo effect (just like in the previous post).
• Iron Man - What's an Avengers Video game without Iron Man? The answer is: just a normal video game!!! COMEDY BOOM!!!! Iron Man has missiles, repulser blasts, lasers, flight, a Royal Tart Toter, Banana Guards, Gelatin Man, Earl of Lemongrab (just joking about the Royal Tart Toter, Banana Guards Gelatin Man, and Earl of Lemongrab. They are all Candy People from Adventure Time).

The game has supreme motion control. You can punch the Air and your guy with do just that. You can go <thwip> <thwip> while playing as Spider-Man and he will Web-Shoot. BOOM!!!!! NOTE: "thwip" is a sound that Spider Man makes when Web Shooting.



Here's a Picture.

Stan Lee

Stan Lee is the ultimate comic book/movie/video game creator!!! He created The Avengers (Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk,Wasp, Spider-Man <NOTE: Most of the time Spider-Man is a solo hero, sometimes he works with the Avengers, other times he runs a team called Spider-Man and his Amazing-Friends>, Ant-Man, The Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Thor), The Fantastic Four (The Thing, Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, and The Human Torch), The X-men (Wolverine, Jean Gray, Cyclops, Beast, Angel, Ice-Man, and Charles Xavior), and practically every super hero excluding the Justice League.



In case you have not figured it out from the paragraph above, I am a huge fan of Stan Lee. He is awesome!!!! Plus I'm like one of his biggest fans!!! I can name a LOT of his creations. Here's a List of my favorite Heroes.

• Spider-Man - Bitten by a radioactive spider, Peter Parker gained the ability to stick to walls, heightened agility, strength, improved healing, and a Spider Sense (he can sense an hazard coming before it even comes). In some versions his brains allowed him to build small devices that shoot webs of any desired form (Balls like a gun shooting bullets, Robes for his Web Swing, and a Classic web for catching flying objects, saving everyone below). Other versions show that the Spider bite gave natural webs (shot from the wrist). Spider-Man only used these gifts for the greater good when his uncle Ben was murdered by a common criminal (In the Noir Version, it was the Vulture that killed him). Before that, Ben used to tell him that with great power comes great responsibility. So he became a masked Super Hero!!!
• Captain America - During World War 2, Stephan Rogers signed up to take a Super-Soldier Serum. After taking it, his normal human body gained increase in MUSCLE MASS!!! (NOTE: Not giant muscles, bigger than average). He was the ultimate war time soldier! He even had a Shield colored to look like the American flag!!! Only round. And He is still Alive today!!! He was Frozen in the Pacific Ocean after being flung there by a large scale explosion. The Modern Avengers thawed him out a few years later. He still fights crime as a Super Hero!
• Iron Man - You know how most Super Heroes need to keep their identities secret, right? Iron Man A.K.A. Tony Stark (in most versions) kept his Identity as Iron Man a secret for about ten minutes (Nick Fury, a super spy, said that in the Avengers TV Show). Tony Stark is a Multi-Millionare with an entire company called Stark Industries (multi-purpose). As he has unlimited access to the tech Stark Industries sells, he used the tech to make a suit of armor with flight, repulser blasts that come out of the hands, a built in computer, and other cool stuff. He also has a machine in his chest that keeps his heart beating (a plane crash damaged SEVERELY!!!!!!!!!!). Without the device in his chest, Tony would die of a heart attack. But that doesn't stop him from fighting crime! BOOM!
• The Fantastic Four - Ben Grimm, Johney Storm, Susan Storm, and Reed Richard were on board a space shuttle when BOOM! Massive radiation surge! All four of these guys were exposed too it and DOUBLE BOOM! Ben Grimm gained rock-like skin and Super-human Strength! Susan Storm gained invisibility power and Force Field Power! Reed Richard gained STRETCHY POWER!!! And ULTIMATE BOOM!!! Johney Storm gained Fire Power!! Together they are The FANTASTIC FOUR!!! Four!!! Four!! Four! I did the echo effect. They use their powers to save the world and sometimes the WHOLE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!!
• X-Men - The X-Men are Mutants (NOTE: Spider-Man is NOT a mutant. He's a Cross-Species) That use their gifts to save the WORLD!!!!!!! World!!! World!! World! I did the echo effect again. One of the X-Men, Wolverine, has a skeleton made of Adamantiom (the hardest fictional metal) and Claws that pop out of his Knuckles. He also has enhanced senses and Super Healing!
• Nick Fury - Nick Fury is a super spy. He runs an secret agency called S.H.I.E.L.D.. Don't ask what S.H.I.E.L.D. stands for I have know idea. Nick Fury also knows everything about everyone on the planet (He's a secret agent. It figures he knows the Identity of every other super hero and villain). He is kind of like Batman in the way that both know a lot of things, both have BOOM-worthy gadgets, etc.

Here's a list of my Favorite Villains Stan Lee created.

• The Lizard - Dr. Curtis Conners was a emergency medic during the war times. An explosion destroyed his right arm. As he returned to civilian life as a Scientist, he became obsessed on discovering the secrets to some lizards regrow-body-parts gene. When the serum was complete, Conners injected lizard DNA into himself. Unfortunately the foreign species took over and the Lizard was created. He grew a tail, grew claws and fangs, his skin became covered in scales, and later down the road he wanted to make more of himself. Spider-Man defeated him several times by injecting the Antidote, making the Lizard turn into Curt Conners. He was defeated one time by the X-Men.
• Venom - What do you get when Spider-Man gets rid of the Black Suit (Which has a Mind of it's own and increases Aggression.)? You Get Edward Brock Jr. A.K.A. Venom!!! Venom can perfectly Mimic All of Spider-Man's powers and BOOM! None of his attacks can be Detected by Spider-Sense!!! And His webs are black whereas Spider-Man's Webs are white. The Colors of Yin and Yang!!! MEGA BOOM!!! Anyway, In Some versions (Ultimate the most), Venom can sprout tendrils (that's a Tentacle, if you don't know what a tendril is) from his hands and back.
• Dr. Doom - Victor Von Doom is the ruler of an country called Latvaria. He wears a suit of Armor Like Iron Man, but is surrounded in a Force Field. In the Ultimate Spider-Man TV Show, Spider-Man describes Dr. Doom as the most powerful bad guy Ever. In Super Hero Squad Show, Dr. Doom's metal mask moves to match his current facial expression (the mouth moves while he talks). But in all the other versions, The Mask does NOT move.
• Kang - A time traveler from the 40th Century (that's two thousand years from now). He Managed to kill the Avengers, but this event was erased from history Because Spider-Man reversed time and undone this event. So the Avengers Live on!!!!  There are actually a thousand Kangs, One for each Universe. There's more than one fictional Universe in one whole MULTIVERSE!!!!!!! And since these Universes are fictional, I name the MULTIVERSE the FICTIONVERSE!!!!!! I believe a ULTRA BOOM is in order.

Just a Reminder, I am a big fan of Stan Lee. He is awesome and possibly the most awesome person ever. He even puts himself in movie cameos! And Makes a cameo in the Amazing Spider Man (2012 video game)!

Giants are awesome!

You remember Skylanders: Giants, right? Good. I have lots of new info straight from my garden of knowledge (No, not literally. It's a metaphor.).



Here's the plot.
If you completed the first game, you know what happens to Kaos at the end. For those of you who didn't beat the game, here's what happens. Kaos was trapped in a energy bubble and was sent spiraling towards Earth. And the Skylanders got back at Kaos when HE sent THEM spiraling towards the Earth. And Kaos was turned into a toy. Now back to Giants. Kaos' toy form was put on a display case at at toy store. But unlike the Skylanders. Kaos manually freed himself from his toy prison. He then taunts Spyro, Stealth Elf, Stump Smash, Eruptor and Gill Grunt. But the Skylanders couldn't do a thing about it as they were in toy form. Afterwards Kaos uses a Portal of Power on himself, teleporting to an ancient part of Skylands. There he meets the Arkeyan Conquertron (Combo of Conqueror and Tron). The Conquertron was the slave master back when the Arkeyans were evil. He battled all eight Giants at once to protect the source of his master's power: A wearable iron hand called the Iron Fist of Arkus. Wear the fist, you become the Arkeyan King. The Arkeyan Army is invincible. So Kaos teams up with the Conquertron to find the lost city of Arkus, the resting tombs of the Iron Fist of Arkus. Back in the modern part of Skylands, Hugo (this is the only time you see Hugo in the console version) warns you, Flynn, and Cali that Kaos has returned. He bids you farewell on when you leave the Ruins. Prior to this game Flynn sold his Hot Air Balloon for an entire Airship (an Airship is a fictional pirate/sailor ship that flies.). The ship,called the Dread-Yacht, is bad luck, though. After buying a new engine from Auric, you have to save a gnome guy (actually his species is unidentified. He looks like a gnome though.) named Ermit from Brock. Brock's a Drow (evil elves) that has an arena. If you beat him, Ermit joins the crew and tells you about Kaos' master plan. After another while, you have to rescue some Mabu folk who were taken prisoner by Dreadbeard. If you don't know who Dreadbeard is, he's a pirate obsessed with card games. Last time he played a card game, he gained a whole ship filled with diamonds and gold. Anyway, he took over Cutthroat Carnival and forced his hostages to work as unpaid interns. You beat him at a game of Skystones (Skylander version of checkers). After nearing the end of the game, you have to fight Kaos' drilling machine, Drill-X (comically every word Drill-X says is in song). You are too late to stop Kaos from putting on the Iron Fist of Arkus though. Kaos transforms into a giant robot version of himself and an epic Boss Battle happens. Ermit and Machine Ghost (A ghost living inside a machine) remove the Fist, rendering Kaos completely powerless. Kaos cowardly runs back to his lair where he reveals he has 37 more evil plans to take over Skylands. And Finally Kaos' mother shows up and grounds him for being evil. Then there's a happy ending. The End.


If you want to know more about the plot, please go Spyro Wiki.

In previous posts I said that the Dread-Yacht could be customized. In every level is a hidden Legendary Treasure. In the first game Legendary Treasures gave you some cash. But that's it. In this game, you can decorate the Dread-Yacht by putting the Legendary Treasures on display anywhere on the ship! Anyway, here's a picture of the Dread Yacht's exterior.

Funky Barn

Funky Barn is what you get from combining a Wii U with whacky farming and cool machinery.



Just to let you know, you might notice little detail about this game. The reason? The only source of info is on the Nintendo website. There are no wikis for this game. And the only wiki that has a article related to this game has only one sentence.


You can name you farm animals and interact with them in many ways. You can pick up a sheep with the cursor and then drop it in a rickety wool shaving device. The wool comes out boxed up and the Sheep comes out with only a few hairs here and there.



Here's a list of known gadgets.

• Sheep Shaving Device - Grab a Sheep and toss it down the chute. This whacky gizmo will do the rest! The Sheep will cannonball out of the machine (As stated above, the Sheep will have no wool on it except for patches here and there) and the wool will burst out boxed up!
• Crop Collector - This mini airplane will frantic fly around your farm, harvesting crops at amazing speed. It will land exactly where it launched.
• Egg Bot - A robot shaped like a egg with a Jack-O-Lantern face. It also has a vacuum on it's back, no arms, and two long mechanical legs end in cowboy boots. It's purpose is to collect eggs that you chickens have laid.
• Milk Collector - a machine that, true to it's name, milks cows then bottles up the collected milk.

Here's a list of known animals

• Chicken (Hen) - These chickens lay eggs which you can sell so you have money to buy gadgets with.
• Chicken (Rooster) - I do not know if roosters are in the game, but since there are Hens, I'm pretty sure there are Roosters
• Pigs - I don't know what Pigs do in the game.
• Sheep - Sheep make wool to sell so you have more money in your pocket.
• Chicks - If a chicken egg hatches before it's harvested, you get a Chick. The role the Chick has is unknown, though it is plausible that They age and become Hens (or Roosters if the Rooster is in the game).
• Cow - Sheep Wool and Chicken eggs isn't enough to keep money flowing. Cows will make milk which you can sell for even MORE money.

There are possibly going to be more blog posts on this game because it's ultra new (it's not even out yet).

Project Exonaut

Project Exonaut is a game where you combine robotic suits based on Cartoon Network characters, futuristic laser guns and distant planets.


There are two warring factions. The First one is Bonzai Squadron. They specialize in speed. Most of the Bonzai members are red in color. Like all non-realistic suits, Bonzai suits add or subtract details that the original character does/doesn't have.. The other faction is Atlas Brigade. They specialize in strength.


Here's a short list with some of the suits in it.

• Tina Rex - A T. Rex themed suit. Tina Rex is from The Amazing World of Gumball. The original Tina Rex has a long tail and two fingers. This suit has no tail whatsoever and has five fingers.
• Ice King - The Ice King suit is based off of the Adventure Time character of the same name. The original Ice King wears a picture-less robe that covers his whole body from the neck down except for the hands. The suit however, has normal pants and a sweater and his feet are exposed AND barefoot, also his new sweater has flames painted on them. Odd actually. Because his weakness is heat. Because heat melts ice.
• Alien X - Ben 10's most powerful form as a Exonaut suit. A notable difference between the show and the suit is that the suit has more spikes.

Tank! Tank! Tank!

An awesome shooting and blowing things up game. You get a tank that has to destroy everything in sight. Your Tank can also use different cannons or guns each one cooler and better than the last. It's also a Wii U game.



Here's a list of known weapons.

•  Machine Gun - A giant machine gun. It has rapid firing and will unleash a merciless rain of bullets on enemy tanks (and bosses).
• Mega Beam - A nuclear laser cannon. It fires a deadly blue laser beam that can blow a building sky high.
• Missile Rack- A Missile Launcher. It fires several missiles that are possibly homing missiles because after being launched, they seem to curve so that they hit their target.
• Colossus Missile - Like the Missile Rack, the Colossus Missile is a missile launcher. However it fires a giant missile that causes a massive explosion.
• Flamethrower - A Flamethrower that shoots a single stream of fire.
• Classic Tank Cannon - a normal Tank cannon. Fires one shot at a time.

There are bosses in the game. Here's a list.

• Swarm Of Giant Insects - Hundreds of giant insects are swarming the city. Your tank must kill all the insects. Possibly under a time limit. Each insect can only take one shot from a tank.
• Golden Phoenix - A flying boss. It has a deadly finisher move where it grabs your tank with it's beak, then it throws the tank in the air and finally it turns the tank into dust by breathing fire.
• Red Dragon - a three headed robot shaped like a dragon. It can breathe fire, launch missiles that look like it's three heads, and can crush your tank in it's jaws.
• Squid Monster - a baby blue giant squid thing. I have no idea what it does.
• Giant Robot - Only seen in "Be the Enemy" mode, the Giant Robot has two forms. The first is a water blue, robot version of King Kong. The other (which is my favorite) is dark red, has two life size replicas of the Empire State Building mounted on the shoulders, and has a satellite dish between said Buildings (it is possibly the head). The dish can shoot a red laser that can blow up a tank.

Pirates and Wizards!!!!!

You might know about Wizard101. But Wzard101 has a sequel!!! Pirate101! So this blog post is about both as they form a new video game series! (It has no official name).



Wizard101 is where your character is a Wizard from "a realm that doesn't even believe in magic" according to Headmaster Androse. The game has four story plots, two of which involve someone evil or saddened, one with a rogue wizard determined to bring his wife back from the dead, another involves the relationship between Wizard City and a place called Grizzleheim, The next has a tournament gone wrong, and the other has an evil witch thing that gives you a dark warning. Pirate101 is where your character is a Pirate Captain on the most wanted list. I only know that the game will involve fame and fortune.


I would tell all for stories, but we would be here forever. So you get Two.
Here's Story One of Wizard101.
After you create a Wizard, Androse (an elderly but awesome mega-wizard) introduces you to the game. After that the camera zooms in to the top of Golem Tower where the silhouette of a ghostly figure dramatically appears in the window. You And Androse go inside and have a short battle of magic with Malistaire Drake (the rogue wizard I mentioned) and his Dragon Wizards. Next, you learn some spells from Ravenwood (a quit little town with five of the seven Schools of Magic). After defeating Lord Nightshade, you face Malistaire Drake in a realm called Krokotopia and he steals a spell book. Then you go to Marleybone where Malistaire steals a magic key to the Dragospyre and kills a Marleybonian Emperor. You heal the Emperor and go to the Dragospyre where you Fight Malistaire one last time. Then Malistaire dies. But his ghost is seen with the ghost of his wife Sylvia.



Here's Story Four of Wizard101
Ambrose summons you and he's got bad news. Marleybonian explorers are stranded on the underwater world of Celestia. So he sends you to help out the explorers. A vile and totally evil girl wizard called Morganthe is also on Celestia. She and her minions want the three Astral Magics: Sun, Moon, and Star. After defeating Morganthe's mega minion, she gives you a dark prophecy: "The Mirror will break, The Horn will call. From the Shadows I strike, The Skies will fall". You then go to  the Africa-like world of Zafaria. Morganthe has caused a lot of problems in Zafaria. The Lion people are turning on each other. Your fellow Ravenwood students have disappeared. Zebra people and Elephant people are warring in lethal feuds. The Elephants are accusing the Zebras of kidnapping their prince. You find Morganthe at Mirror Lake and figure out that she was responsible for everything. She kidnapped the prince and blamed the Zebras for this villainous crime. After that she repeats the sinister warning: "The Mirror will break, The Horn will call. From the Shadows I strike, the Skies will fall." Meaning Mirror Lake was the mirror in this riddle. Ambrose then gives you a new task. Go to the first Wizard homeworld of Avalon and retrieve the Sword of Kings. You must rally the Knights of Avalon and meditate at a shrine, both of which a requirement to obtain the Sword of Kings. Next you must find the Lady of the Lake and kill the totally evil Pendragon. After doing the first two tasks you have a vison. You are fighting Morganthe when she was a child in a duel of magic. Next you are deemed worthy to use the Sword. You use the Sword of Kings to slay the Pendragon. The dead Pendragon is actually Avalon's King mutated by the Horned Crown. Your character is reminded of Morganthe's warning. Mostly the part that says "The Horn will call.". With the Horned Crown being the Horn and the King's mutation being the call. Then you go to Azteca only to find the realm is doomed. A massive magical comet is heading straight towards Azteca. You teleport ONTO the comet. You find Morganthe on the comet, but she is not alone. The ghost of the dead Malistaire Drake is with her. You duel both of the undead magic-casters but you are too late to stop the comet as Morganthe cast a spell that both makes the comet invincible AND keeps you from altering the comet's course. Morganthe again reminds you of her evil prophecy. The comet was the Shadows and Azteca's destruction being the strike. I don't know what happens next but because the last part of the warning said "The Skies will fall", I'm guessing there will be a final battle in the sky and that the prophecy will come true, releasing a, oh I don't know, an totally evil monster big enough to smash the spiral  and you have to fight it and you win and Morganthe is destroyed and then there's a Happily Ever After. I love games with Happily Ever After endings. But I love endings that hint at a possible sequel more.




Here's the plot for Pirate101.
After creating a character, you are on the most wanted list big time (part of character back story) and the game picks up where you are being shipped to prison by the Valencian Imperial Navy. But a mega pirate called BoochBeard and his talking monkey sidekick Mr. Galby break you out. You, BoochBeard, and Mr.Galby then go to the ultimate pirate hideout: Skull Island. The reason why this is a great pirate hideout is because Mr. Galby's species (Monkey people) control the island and hire pirates to bring them stolen cash from rival Empires. You then go on a quest for glory and fame. I don't know what happens next but my guess is you travel to a secret uncharted cave full of treasure, but suddenly a hideous monster pops out of nowhere and you have to fight it.


In Wizard101, your Wizard attends one of ten Schools. Here's a list.

• Fire - Pyromancers are wizards with fire powers. Their roots trace to the mighty Fire Dragons, One of the Titans that ruled in the Days Before. The Gem is the Ruby. Pyromancers will learn to harness the fire inside oneself and unleash in the form of magical Fire Creatures and fiery blasts. Did I mention that, just like poison, some Fire Spells deal damage over time?
• Ice - Thaumaturges are wizards with Ice powers. Their origins trace to the powerful Giant, one of the Titans that ruled in the Days Before. The gem is the Sapphire. Ice is all about persistence. Slow and steady wins the race. Especially if you just happen to be a Thaumaturge. Thaumaturge will learn to use ice and snow to cast magical defenses so powerful that if properly used, nothing can even get close to you.
• Storm - Diviners' the name, lightning's their game! Storm Diviners are everything that make an inventor yell "Eureka!" Creativity is their main feature. They can deal lots of damage in very little time. The first Diviners were the well-prepared-for-practically-everything Sea Tritons, who ruled in the Days Before!
• Life - Imagine owning a garden stretching across the whole universe. Now imagine controlling everything in that garden with a wave of your hand. That's what Theurgists do. Like Moolinda Wu always say: "As we have been created, we must also Create". Theurgists specialize in healing. In fact they can heal a whole army to full health. Whereas the other Schools summon creatures, Theurgists create the creatures from scratch. Their origins can be traced to when the Fire Dragons and Sea Tritons united, for that was when Life Magic was born.
• Myth - Imagination can be a hazard. But also a tool for those who know HOW to use it. Conjurers do just that. They create the illusion that a myth became real. Myth was born when Fire and Ice joined.
• Death - "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to Anger. Anger leads to Hate. Hate leads to Suffering" -Yoda quote. Necromancers can keep themselves from going to the dark side by draining the fear out of themselves and putting it in enemies. Necromancers are the only characters that can learn everything: Healing, Damage over time, Life-stealing (unique to this School), normal damage, and you can trade life energy from magic. Death is a deadly combo of Ice and Storm.
• Balance - Balance is everything. It is the strongest magic ever. An awesome mix of Fire, Ice, Storm, Life, Death, AND Myth. Something noticeable is that the creatures summoned are either bugs or giant forms a Egyptian Gods and Goddesses.
• Sun - You have a beetle. You want the beetle to be different. Cast a Sun spell and you get a Giant beetle with any desired add-ons. Sun focuses on mutating a creature to do twice as much damage.
• Moon - You that werewolves transform when the full moon is out, right? Moon spells function similar. Moon Wizards can turn themselves into whatever their magic little hearts' desire. Dragon, Werewolf, Troll, Cyclops, Snow Serpent, you name it.
• Star - Star Wizards can buff themselves up. Aura Buffs either make you stronger or make the enemy weaker.

Wizard101 AND Pirate101 takes place)


Pirate101 Has some cool Pirate Classes. Here's a list.

• Buccaneer - Buccaneers are pirates that can do lethal damage in hand-to-hand combat. They lack speed and distance because they prefer strength and power in battle. Their teacher is a Shark Man who is the last of a great pirate crew. Buccaneers are also roughly the strongest pirates in the game.
• Privateer - Every great pirate crew needs a captain. Privateers are that captain. Actually ALL Classes are Captains. Privateers just get bigger crews and focus on helping their crew mates. They also heal people. But they don't do well when they have to fight directly.
• Witchdoctor - The only connection between Wizard101 and Pirate101. After Wizards became Pirates, All ten Schools of Magic have been left behind by all but one type of people: Witchdoctors! They use the Ten Schools of Magic in battle.
• Musketeer - These guys are mega gunslingers. They snipe off the competition and they booby trap the play-field (the game uses virtual board game combat). They do everything they can to make sure that Hand-to-Hand Combat with a Musketeer is impossible.
• Swashbuckler - Knock Knock. The moment you open the door, you see nothing but a colorful blur. But when you come back in, you notice that several of your belongings are missing. Swashbucklers are crazy fast. They are a blur! A Swashbuckler has the easiest plan for victory without taking damage at all. Elegantly and tauntingly dodge the attacks, unleash the awesome bomb (my word for crazy fast attack frenzy), get out, do it all over again.
