Custom Voice Magic Guide

How Custom Voice Magic Works

Open your spellbook at the Cat Academy hub or mid-run pause menu. Select any unlocked spell and edit its voice phrase field — the microphone icon marks editable commands. Speak your new phrase three times during calibration, then test with push-to-cast in the training yard before entering co-op.

Custom Voice Magic applies per spell slot on your character. Teammates cannot trigger your personal bindings — they hear your voice but the game maps phrases only to your wizard. This enables meme builds without breaking squad callouts if you coordinate beforehand. For step-by-step editor navigation, also see customize spell names.

The feature works across all twelve spell languages. Switching languages resets phrases to that locale's defaults unless you re-record custom commands. Korean remains partially text-only for some phrases — verify each spell after language changes.

Building Effective and Funny Loadouts

Effective phrases share hard consonants and distinct syllables: "burst" for fireball, "spin" for tornado, "rise" for levitation. Meme phrases work too — outlets reported players using food words for combat spells — but similar-sounding commands cause accidental casts when adrenaline spikes. Avoid rhyming pairs across your loadout.

Arena players sometimes keep one default spell name for team callout clarity while customizing the rest. PvE extraction groups can go full chaos: assign inside jokes that only your Discord understands. Use our Spell Phrase Planner to export a shared cheat sheet before matchmaking.

Scroll upgrades and Supporter Pack flair spells follow the same Custom Voice Magic rules — recalibrate after equipping new magic scrolls or Supporter Pack spells. Pyro Shield benefits from a phrase phonetically distinct from fireball to prevent defensive misfires.

Co-op Etiquette and Troubleshooting

Announce custom phrases at run start: "My fireball is Barbecue now." Reference team spell combos using your mapped words, not default names teammates might assume. Proximity chat amplifies confusion when four players shout different custom commands simultaneously — assign one tactical caller if recognition struggles.

If Custom Voice Magic misfires, apply the voice recognition fix guide: sensitivity zero, push-to-cast only, game relaunch. Shorten phrases or add sharper consonants before blaming hardware. Run Voice Mic Setup Checker to rule out clipping.

The clip below shows voice-triggered chaos when multiple spell commands overlap — the same mic handles recognition, so discipline matters even with custom phrases. After major Steam patches, recalibrate in Cat Academy in case Lazy Turtle Games adjusts recognition models.
