No icons with pretty pictures to click. You have to type out 'Firebolt' to cast it. Anything less is just hand holding and EZ mode. Kids these days just want their pretty pictures to click.

Being able to download it is just EZ mode.
Speaking of Magicka, mmos could use that spellcasting system for a change.
Typing the name of the spell doesnt make it less hand holding, it makes it annoying, unless of course you are talking about typing lines of code into a shell and hit compile and run and pufff the fireball is launched.... too much hassle.

I hate when people just spam one skill. LoL!

Also things like this lead people to cheat.
There is this guild mission on GW2 where you have to do an emoticon in front of a mirror. The right emoticon is shown on a higher level of the stage where you need a team member to tell you what to use.
Once he checked out which emoticon is the right one the other guy has a few seconds to execute it.
Instead all those lame ass guild leader pricks will just use macros and spam ALL emoticons there are.
But difficulty? I don't see a connection, and you know exactly what would happen... People will just create macros, have to think a little outside the box there, computer inputs can be manipulated and programmed.
EDIT: oh someone else already said it

That pretty much cuts right through their point. LOL
That'd be awesome!
I care about your gaming 'problems' and teenage anxieties, just not today.
now days with multibutton mice and macros you would be able to do every attack still with a single click
when i was leveling in wow i would macro my attacks so that a single click would do 3-4 attacks each click was normally enough to kill a mob or two
making the whole process less painful
*Mob starts running towards you with a HUGE tree trunk as a weapon...
*You start to type in your Invisibility Spell :
URANUN CARIPE BAGLEN OL
GEMEGANZA DE-NOAN CHIIS GOSAA
ZAMICMAGE OLEOL AG-SAPAH ARPHE
ORESA ETHAMZ TAA TABEGISOROCH
ZODINU AR ZURAH PAREMU
ZODIMIBE PAPNORGE MANINUA
ZONAC DODSIH HOXMARCH TRIAN
AMONONS PARE DAS NIIS KURES
*You give the Mob the finger knowing you're now invisable
*Mob squashes you with the tree trunk while laughing at you.
Your last thoughts are... damn.. I misspelled PAPNORGE

No can do typing it out,i mistype as well my keyboard mistypes way too often,i would never get a spell off.
However i would like to see added layers to combat systems.Like having to time it or be interrupted or when using an offensive spell the mob would give certain tells to it's weakness for resists,partial resists and full damage.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Depends on the spell, I would expect a return on my effort.
Long range transport spells would be a good place to implement regents; gathered, crafted, or both.
