i think we need a fighting game where the characters are just wizards. and instead of having the standard characters and such you just get to make your own spells. including counterspells and such
with a complex spell creation system that's impossible to make a build that beats anything thrown at it using to prevent there being a single optimal build
maybe theres also outfit creation stuff where different pieces of apparel buff and debuff certain spell types, like a pyromancer's robe that gives a major bonus to + extra defense vs. fire-based spells but does the opposite for water-based spells
some potential builds i could see in this (with the potential for hybrid builds where you combine two or more):
- Elementalist (pyromancer, hydro/cryomancer, geomancer, aeromancer)
- Enhancer (uses magic to enhance their own phys. strength, basically a punch wizard)
- Esotericist (Lumenologist, Umbramancer)
- Necromancer/Reanimator
- Arcane Trickster >:3
