I'm going to keep an eye on this, since it's the kind of game I like, but right now I can't even hit the rat with the firebolt. it just shoots into the floor and does nothing. :/

Hi Soldancer
Thank you for playing. The reason you have problems hitting a rat, is because the spell projectile spawns lower than the crosshair. You will have to aim a little bit higher, for now.
I am aware of this issue, and I’ll fix it as soon as possible.
*Update* I have fixed it already. New version is up.
Nice! It's much better now, I was actually able to complete the game this time. Some additional feedback:
The wand charges pretty slowly. I would consider either making it charge faster or having an attack option that doesn't require charging, like maybe even just a swipe with your arm that does minimal damage but can push enemies back.
There's not much hit confirmation on enemies (though I usually could tell that I hit anyway).
The three spells you get are different enough to be interesting, and I LOVE the huge explosion and commensurate cost of the Fireball.
Sound design is great, I especially like the sarcophagus sound effects.
I really hope to see more of this!
Thanks for your feedback.
I’m very pleased to hear you were able to complete the game, and had fun doing it.
It’s on purpose the wand is slow. My plan is that the player needs to find better equipment in the future, which can increase the cast speed etc. Also adding points into magic will increase the cast speed. Good idea with the swipe though. I might consider that.
The enemies are going to have a health bar at some point. That should help the player.
And yeah... I have a lot of plans with the project. This is just the beginning.
