Wizard Upgrades

[OriginalEther]

For the purposes of advancing them, what exactly counts as activating them?

There have been numerous times where I quickly activated them, only to check a little later to see that it didn't register and no progress was made. Is there some sort of qualifier for it to count.

I'm actually only interested only because I want to get the achievement for upgrading the whole table (yes, I'm one of those guys!). Looks to be a massive grind though.

You must hold down the button down, not just a quick tap. Wizard upgrades go by the number of seconds activated, rather than the number of uses.

Not true at all. In the case of the bonus multiplyer. Simply tap it just before you are normally awarded points and if done correctly will give you lots more and take away almost no time. You just have to know the table and know when best to use it. I milk it like its my personal point cow.

Odd! I've did the above multiple times and it didn't increase the progress bar at all. I found the progress bar advanced much faster when I held the button down. Each second I held it down; the progress bar went up a point.

FWIW, I grind the Sorcerer's Lair table to get the max out all power-ups trophy.

Progress bar? WTF is that? Im talking about points or score. If you have the multiplier thingy as your wizard power and are in a situation where your going to get lots of points, say spiderman table and your doing the jay jameson loop and its on 20, which is to say for those who dont know, 20 million if done perfectly, you cant of course because it takes time to set up the loop, but you could walk away with 17 million, if just before you are awarded that 17 million you briefly, I mean just tap it at the exact moment get 25 million or even more and take away only a hair. I tap it all the time during multiball on family guy and kill it and many times get in excess of 60 mill on 5 minute games.

You can level up the wizard power-ups and make them last longer. There are a total of 10 levels. You can see the progress by viewing the wizard power individually.

This is what the OP is referring to he/she said "advancing" them.

To get wizard powers, you must advance in the challenge modes.
To advance wizard powers, you must use them.
Depending on the selected wizard power, you must either hold or press the activate button, triangle for ps4.
For time wizard power, you must hold to make adequate use and to advance skill.
The time wizard power is the most powerful wizard power.
It allows you to trigger midnight madness (eventually every game, and eventually multiple times a game).
Midnight madness is the highest grossing bonuses often 80 - 100 million.
With the correct passive upgrades, and time wizard power, you can literally break the score board.
999.999.999 million
Don't worry, I haven't shared all the beans, only I can break the screen.
Haven't yet but will.
The counter might go as high as 9.999.999.999 , and you what even this is achievable if the counter provides.
But to do that, you'll need to master more than time.
And you thought time was everything which it is in principle but this game and your mortality know not infinite time.
I will post a link and video when I get either one of the two scores above.

Just play the one ball challenge for about 20 times and just spam the triangle and let the ball drain and you will max it out.
