I tried registering my new purchase of Magicka. I know about entering the key in xxxx-xxxx etc mode with the last digit being left out. Problem is, I bought the complete Magicka pack, and when I attempt to register with the key entered as you guys describe it, I am still getting INVALID key. I have checked and rechecked many times and I get the same problem.
PLEASE fix this.

I alerted the authorities, let's see what the problem is. It's not the first time that Steam and Paradox forum keys don't like each other...

EDIT: there is a thread on this in the Forum Help section, but it seems there is no solution there yet... http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?547679-Can-t-Register-Magicka-Key-Invalid.

Did you drop the last key? Steam still gives 25-digit keys, I believe.

I figured this one out, the way STEAM splits the product key up is invalid. You need to make sure you are splitting it up 4 Alphanumeric numbers at a time. Steam has 5 alphanumeric characters per hyphen so the key goes in wrong on the web site here. So reconfigure the key in 4 each and plug it in like that and remember to drop the last letter/number.
