Zauberer (German for wizard or sorcerer) is a project to create free content replacement for the Hexen IWAD, similar to the more complete Blasphemer for Heretic or Freedoom for Doom and Doom II. It was maintained by Eric Söderberg aka "Cire", with designs drafted for the three player classes, as well as a handful of enemy types, although none are complete sprite sheets at the moment. It was aiming primarily for an Ancient Egyptian theme, with infusions from other mythologies. In 2024 a separate IWAD replacement project was founded called Lastermaul, which intends to hew closer to sister project Blasphemer.
