However, will 6 slots/skills/spells be enough to have a satisfiing gameplay as a caster?
If I look at Oblivion/Skyrim, I'm constantly switching between several spells. Alteration at the beginning, summoning my pets, casting Illusions at the enemies and finally nuking them with destruction. Quite impossible with only 6 skills and I liked that kind of magical preparation before combat.
So either, the spells themselves are quite limited (which is a bad thing), or you are forced into one school of magic (which is also kind of bad), or you will have one nuke to spam and some illusion summon, that you can use every 3 minutes to keep the debuff/creature up. (which is also a bit boring)
Maybe I overlooked something, but I don't want to have a second WoW, where I only have to spam Arcane Blast, hit the Cooldown and spam Arcane blast again....
