Spells that can be used to copy the effect of other spells.

Gamma is a spell that casts a copy of the last spell in your wand. Gamma, like its counterparts, is a late-game unlockable rare spell.

Tips

• When used alongside Chainsaws and Wand Refresh it allows for a rapid fire of the copied spell.
• Since copied spells don't cost mana, it can be used to save mana by casting a copy of an expensive spell, like Piercing Shot, at the cost of only 40 mana, which is Gamma's cost.
• When used alongside a chain of Divide By spells, like every other Greek Letter, it cannot be placed in the middle of the chain, but can only be used either at the very end to copy a spell, or at the beginning to copy a Divide By spell to start the chain.
• Even if a spell gets copied, all the stats will still be added, like Cast Delay, Recharge time, etc...

Casting spells without charges

Like every other Greek Letter, Gamma can copy spells regardless of charges.

This wand for example will cast a Black Hole whether it has remaining charges or 0.

Preventing Cast Delay

As of now, the build from the previous section has a lot of Cast Delay, +1.5 seconds total to be exact. This can be avoided by using spells that remove Cast Delay, Chainsaw especially is very good for this as it sets Cast Delay to 0. This way the cast delay added by Gamma (+0.25s) and Black Hole (+1.33s) get completely nullified.

Saving Mana

This will cast a perfectly safe piercing Deadly Heal with no damage because of Null Shot, while costing 100 mana less compared to directly using the Piercing Shot.

Copying the "last spell on the wand"

Going into the technical side of how Gamma works, it tries to copy the last spell in deck which sometimes doesn't coincide with the last spell in the wand.

In this wand for example, on the first cast Gamma copies Projectile Area Teleport which draws Summon Omega Sawblade (copied spells can still draw). Then on the second cast the Projectile Area Teleport is drawn which causes the wand to wrap, so again Gamma copies the last spell in deck which this time is the Summon Omega Sawblade because Projectile Area Teleport is already in hand. This also results in slightly lower mana usage since Gamma costs less mana than either of the spells it would copy.

Copying from hand

If the deck is empty when Gamma resolves it instead copies the last spell from the hand instead of the deck. This means putting Gamma at the end of a wand will make it uselessly copy itself until the recursion limit but this can have applications when Gamma is copied from other sources. Both the following wands create a copy of Gamma which resolves after all spells are drawn and the deck is empty with Pollen being the last spell that was drawn into hand and thus is what Gamma copies.

Trivia

• The icon for Gamma resembles an upside-down letter L, which could be inferred as a hint for "Last" (i.e. the "Last" spell).
