Non-shuffle wands will always cast the spells sequentially in a left-to-right order, thus enabling complex yet predictable combinations. Modifier type spells will generally only affect the current shot state in a wand, though some will affect global data like recharge time. Wands with an "Always Cast" spell will cast that spell along with any other spells every time the wand is cast. To learn more basics about how spells and modifiers can be used, see the Guide To Wand Mechanics.
Shuffle wands behave similarly to non-shuffle wands, but when a shuffle wand is recharged, edited or swapped to the order of spells is randomized.
Many spells and hazards in Noita inflict damage, and damage comes in different types - e.g. Fire, Ice, Melee, etc. The ones which don't are either non-damaging utility spells or transformation types.
There are 422 spells in Noita, categorised into 8 types. A spell's type gives you a rough idea of how it behaves, and determines if and how a given spell can interact with spell-copying spells (like the Greek Letters and Add Trigger).
