Featuring two cloaked wizards who are caught in a battle, each participant takes his turn [drinking a potion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkin-potion-liqueur) to attack the other. After one too many, they get sick and begin to vomit obscure things, including a rainbow of bright colors and a wave of fire. These rejected potion pukings combine to create a vortex that the dueling wizards become consumed by. Utilizing some serious animation skills, Niko Pueringer and Sam Gorski of Corridor Digital are notorious for creating goofy vids that please pop culture addicts and [gaming geeks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purpleberry-punch).
