Here are my opinions about these levels:
Schade: it's a very simplistic level which has a rather dark and calm theme, however I've a feeling it doesn't feel very magically. Maybe the darkness was supposed to give that feel but I think it doesn't have enough stuff to make it feel magical. Also I'm wondering why this level is rated 6*, while it's actually pretty easy (like 4-5* difficulty). Maybe that's because of the coins, I don't know.
Aquarius: it's a pretty good level, and it starts with a kind of water theme which is nice, because water is one of the elements and can be classified as some kind of magic, however I wish the theme was consistent for the whole level. The beginning looks fine but later the level kinda loses the water theme. Also I'm not sure if it's the greatest choice, as it was already a daily, so it already had a reward. Othet than that it's a pretty good level.
Kalaxian: I find it funny that this level was made for the Crystal Gauntlet but it got into the magic one. The level overall is pretty good, colorful and probably more fitting than the first level. The only part I disliked was the last wave. I died there a few times because I had no idea what kills me and what not. You can slide on some walls while some kill you (yeah, there are arrows on the wall you can slide but they appear only for a split-second), also AFAIK the rock/crystals also kill you there which was a bit unfair because I thought it was decoration. Other than that it was a nice level but I wish the end wave was less annoying.
Odyssey: I'd honestly say it's a great level because it fits the magic theme well and it has some nice effects but holy crap, it's so laggy, even my mediocre PC has problems with running this level. I died to the last part a lot because it was laggy EVEN with LDM ENABLED. It's hard to do anything when you lose a lot of frames in a certain part, especially that the end was most likely the hardest part.
The last one is probably the worst level from all of these. I don't have anything against well-known creators but please, what is this gameplay? It's not fun at all. The decoration sure, it's great, but the gameplay wants me to die. Also I think it's underrated and should have an insane difficulty.
