Mind is awesome...it just shows you're on a totally new level

Using hands and mind control will always be awesome due to :starwars: OBVIOUSLY ! (The Force is basically magic...)

Staves(Staffs are also wicked if you could pull it off, ala Gandalf.

Gotta go with hands. Wands make me feel like a fairy. Staves make me feel like an old man. Alternatively I'd go with the orb like what the wizard uses in Diablo 3.

Hands, because I would get tired of having to haul a stick around with me. Especially through airport security

It wouldn't make much difference, the TSA will touch your staff anyway.

okay maybe I should clarify

I mean this in a fantasy sense, as in if you could be a wizard in a Fantasy world similar to TES, Tolkien or DnD which would you choose?

I would absolutely choose hand-casting or mental-casting if there was magic in a modern setting.
and yes, I'm sorry for not putting up better options, it's okay if you want to use another method of spell casting I didn't mention

and to those wondering about a staff, most wizards in Fantasy lore can cast by hand but the staff acts as an extension of their magical abilities. IE magic gets channeled through the staff and enhanced in the process.

wands I don't know too much about but I would imagine that duel-wielding wands would be a practical method of spell casting

I was just thinking about that :laugh:

Prepare to meet your doom by my fire spel- WOAH. LOOK AT THAT LEAF.


Staves would be cool if I was like an ancient wizard (with a beard of course), otherwise I'd just use my hands to cast spells.
