Reminds me of Arx Fatalis. I think it's the only game I've seen where casting spells requires you to trace a rune in the air instead of pressing the cast button.

    The old Lionhead game, Black and White, had a gesture system which was similar. Didn't work very well, but the thought was there.

    I can't think of a game that deserves a modern VR remake more than Black and White. I wonder who owns the rights these days?

    I've been saying this for years, game is like the perfect concept for VR. I think Microsoft would own the IP yeah they bought Lionhead?

    That was my first thought, but I remember there was some rights snaggle that kept B&W from appearing on GOG. Looking it up, according to an interview the source code and IP are owned by Microsoft but EA still has the distribution rights.

    Drakan: Ancient Gates was my inspiration. Their magic casting blew my mind back in the day and I never understood why no one else has utilized that system. I will have to check out Arx Fatalis.

    Harry Potter: Wizards Unite had spells you cast by tracing a shape on screen, representing wand movements (and it was graded on how closely you matched that spell's shape as well as on speed.)
    Not a complex system, but some of them took some effort to get a good cast.
