Magic Abilities

In LEGO Battles and LEGO Battles: Ninjago, hero characters have access to a number of magical powers that have an effect on the battle field.

Gameplay
In LEGO Battles, each hero has 4 powers, generally 2 buffs and 2 other spells. In LEGO Battles: Ninjago, the player has access to 2 spells in each form. Using spells consumes magic points, which regenerate over time. In LEGO Battles all heroes have a maximum of 1000 magic points and spell costs are multiples of 50 points. In LEGO Battles: Ninjago, all upgrade I forms have 2500 magic points and all upgrade II forms have 3750 magic points, with higher spell costs than the previous game, and costs being multiples of 25 points. In both games magic points regenerate faster if the appropreate extra is turned on.
