Zauberer (German for "magician") is a first-person shooter project whose initial goal is to serve as a free data package for engines based on the GPL Hexen source, similar to Freedoom. The IWAD data is released under the ISC license, a variant of the 3-clause BSD license. It was set to have a primarily post-apocalyptic Ancient Egyptian theme. Designs were drafted for the three player classes, as well as a handful of enemy types, although none are complete sprite sheets at the moment.
Eric Söderberg aka "Cire" is the project maintainer.
The map set Shades of Darkness by ShadesMaster had been offered to the project, but it was never merged in, currently leaving only the Ice Prison test map.
In 2024 a separate IWAD replacement project was founded called Lastermaul, which intends to hew closer to sister project Blasphemer.
