Arx Fatalis has you have to draw the runes of magic with your mouse.

Morrowind and Oblivion had stupidly OP spell creation.

Dragon's Dogma has the best visual magic of a game, summon tornadoes on a group of bandits, meteor storms, giant icicles etc.

There are plenty of games that include magic as a playstyle choice, like Tales of Maj'eyal and pretty much every other RPG game out there. ToME is free on their website, btw, I highly recommend giving it a try. If you want a game that focuses purely on magic, then I'd suggest Magicka.

>>14092211

Which game has the best lore for magic? I don't mean esoteric shit stapled on top a generic magic system.

>>14092275

Morrowind?

>Sacrifice

RTT where you play a wizard in third person and summon troops & use spells

>Lichdom: Battlemage

got some sort of spell creation system and plays like a standard FPS, don't know much about it - but seemed like a halfassed idea when I checked it out awhile ago

>general for no fucking reason

For the love of fucking god, stop doing that.

Battlemage is pretty dull.

Dragon's Dogma, why can't we have a game about being a Wizard fucking entire armies with our spellcraft? also Kingdoms of Amalur had potential, but it was pretty much had the depth of a shitty MMO.

What about Runescape?

Eternal Darkness has a rune system that lets you create spells, but there are only 12 possible spells so it's not really a proper spell creation system. Still, the idea has a lot of potential and should be expanded on.

Anyway, what's everyone's favorite type of magic? We've had these threads and people here like elemental magic, summoning, curses, divination, time warping and all sorts of other stuff. As for me, I love being an enchanter and creating magical weapons and armor. It gets even better if Magitek is involved.

>Ability to breathe in any hostile environment

Breathable air needs nitrogen too, so unless you're fine with huffing pure oxygen or combining it with whatever toxic air is nearby, you're still fucked.

>Make it harder or easier for plants to thrive by removing it

Removing oxygen does not generate carbon dioxide.

>Feed or snuff existing fires (but not create them)

this one works

>Suffocate enemies, by removing it

so does this

>Poison enemies, by concentrating it

and this

>Corrode metals, especially iron

Only if the metal has exposed, uncorroded material. Otherwise it'll corrode the outer layer but not penetrate unless the metal flakes off by itself.

>>14098749

>Breathable air needs nitrogen too

Not always. Under ideal circumstances, air is at 101.33 kPa, and consists of 20% Oxygen and 80% Nitrogen. Because of the law of partial pressures, oxygen in the air is effectively at 20.27 kPa, so as long as you're breathing in 100% oxygen at that low of a pressure, you should be fine. Mostly.

>Removing oxygen does not generate CO2

Correct, but an excess of oxygen is bad for plants, because it displaces the CO2 that IS present. Likewise, removing O2 will ensure a carbon rich environment

>Corrosion

We're assuming control over the oxygen, so you could in theory rip the outer layer off, if it's oxidized. Iron is prone to this and flaking, but stainless steel is not.

>>14098783

>so as long as you're breathing in 100% oxygen at that low of a pressure, you should be fine. Mostly.

That was my point about mixing it with the surrounding toxic air. Unless you're only problem is not enough oxygen and the rest of the air is some inert or harmless gas, then you're pretty screwed. You couldn't breath in any sort of liquid either.

>removing O2 will ensure a carbon rich environment

Only if there is carbon dioxide to begin with

>so you could in theory rip the outer layer off

If we're playing with those rules then you can control most organic compounds and would be pretty fucking overpowered.

Are you really this mad over that anon? Jesus it's not the most well described posts but I've certainly seen worse.

>>@14099303 ((you) has been deviously denied!)

Oh boy are you going to HATE Jojos Bizarre Adventure

I want a game where magic is complex. More than "Press X to fireball".

One person mentioned an idea of making spellmaking similar to codewriting, and I wouldn't mind that. Sure you could become broken, but you can become broken if you fuck up. Also we don't have a good cybermancy game and that sort of gimmick could very well be it.

Either way I want magic to feel like something more than pressing a button for a particle effect.

Bloodborne. The Kos Parasite stays as a fist attack when you don't have the milkweed rune. So you get punches that scale off your arcane stat.

I've played the game for hundreds of hours and haven't experienced this. Never saw it mentioned in the old threads either.

>>14092211

The entire idea behind Lichdom: Battlemage is that you craft your own spells.

It starts off pretty slow, but eventually you get enough options for it to become fun.

>>14098532

Oxygen wizard with a lighter means you can create a "wick" of oxygen that leads to a created mass of oxygen for a big explosion, you could do it with multiple "wicks" too.

If I want a magic game, I want to be able to customize or boost spells with additional effects like Magicmaker and Tower of the Archmage.

Magicmaker is ok for an indieshit, Tower is a flash game.

> why can't we have a game about being a Wizard fucking entire armies with our spellcraft?

maybe M&B Bannerlord will have magic mods

pretty sure there are even some for Warband but they're probably broken as heck

>>14102258

The Horde Lands mod for classic Mount&Blade had a magic system in it.

It was actually useful because a couple of the village scenes had bugged Nervous Man spawns placing him outside the navigable area, but you could still nuke him from afar with magic without even talking to him which would complete the mission.

>magicmaker

Just downloaded the demo- it has a crude humor which ends up leaving a little charm and the spell creation is neat as well. Not bad might give it a pirate
