It seems so strange that you use the exact same hand gesture to make someone love you that you use to throw a freaking fireball at someone else.

I want the animations when you use magic to change based on factors like the school of magic and intensity of the spells being used.

I want to feel powerful when I cast a spell. I want noise and movement and explosions and all sorts. Not those little piddly, piss poor excuse for fire balls.

Also, you know what I hated? When you cast a spell like berserk (I think it was for orcs), your character would flash red. This looked awful and completely broke any sense of magical realism. Berserk should make my character bigger. He/she should grow into some great, hulking beast, blinded by rage.

Has anyone played Clive Barker's Undying? I really liked the different hand gestures in that game...
