So Magicka is a game with a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) references to popular culture. But one thing has bothered me back when I played and I failed to figure it out - Vlad would often finish his dialogue by saying Good "Luck"! with the word Luck always shown under quotes.

Good "Luck" example

What is the reason for this? Is this some reference I can't figure out or just a random joke of some kind?

Edit: some possible spoilers for the first game story in the comments of this post.

    Maybe because he want you death? I mean he want you death

  • @Serverfrog means: "It can be because he wants you to die"

    Why would that be? Disregarding the fact he's a vampire, I never got the impression he's the "bad guy" in any way (his later actions seem to be simply because of his bad judgement, rather than ill intentions).

    Possibly to attempt sarcasm. Written sarcasm is pretty difficult.

    Could be a fourth-wall breaking reference to the largely deterministic nature of video games (there is no such thing as "luck")
