Wild Magic is a threshold Magic ability. It requires level 55 Magic to use. When activated, Wild Magic fires two "unpredictable" magical attacks at the target, each dealing 125-155% ability damage. With maximum boosts, it is possible to deal over 10,000 damage per hit of Wild Magic.

In most circumstances, this is by far the best magic threshold ability. An effective way to utilise Wild Magic is to Sunshine with a ring of vigour equipped, drink a Replenishment potion/Adrenaline potion, use two basic abilities, and then Wild Magic. With this rotation, Wild Magic can be used twice in a single Sunshine rotation, greatly increasing overall damage dealt.
