Powerful indeed! Not only can the wizard alter gravity, he can also phase through walls and steal unnatural life from the jaws of death! XD
Specifically, you can sometimes rotate gravity and jump in combination to enter a wall, then use the position changes from rotations inside a wall to maneuver to the exit more quickly. Additionally, taking lethal damage from a new object after an initial instance resets the (fairly lengthy) death animation, during which you can still control the character. Finishing a level while dying restores your life.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the glitches, though, the game was fun to complete and neither too short nor too lengthy.
