Magic Spells
Magic spells are one of the types of loot you can obtain in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. They come in the form of a book. Spells are not simply a cosmetic change compared to the grenades from Borderlands. Instead, magic spells are like mini-action-skills but with a fast cooldown
Magic Spells run on the Borderlands™ weapon system. This means you can expect a big variety of spells just like we saw a lot of different grenades in Borderlands 3. The first thing that comes to my mind is that a fireball spell could have multiple fireballs, flight straight or home in on enemies, etc etc.
Magic Spells have to cool down before you can use them again. These cooldowns are shorter than your action skill cooldown. Some spells can reset their cooldown when they score a critical hit. There are Magic Spells that have multiple charges before they go into cooldown.
Each Magic spell has its own visual identity based on what type of spell it is. Each effect has its own sigil which you see in the hand of your character when the spell is cast.
Spells are being cast through a wand or hand gestures. Dual-wielding Spells and performing the Polymorph spell are both skills of the Spellshot Class.
While there isn’t a strict spell-casting class in Wonderlands, in theory, with the right combination of weapons, spells and other modifiers, you could build a “god tier spell caster”

Magic Types

How to Cast Spells in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
Your journey starts in Snoring Valley when you start playing Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. This area acts as the game’s tutorial as it introduces you to the various mechanics. There you will be tasked to “Investigate castle ruins” after clearing the throne room of skeletons, you need to pick up your first magic spell. Once you have it, you can cast the spell with the “traditional grenade” button you might know from other shooters.
| Platform | Button |
|---|---|
| PlayStation | L1 |
| Xbox | LB |
| PC | F |
You have to press or hold and release the button depending on the type of magic spell. Because some spells are “Fire&Forget” while others need to be charged, “Channeled”.
