"ban-evading Argentinian" does indeed ban-evade, and mostly posts stealth pony pictures in threads he doesn't like, such as furry, CWC, lewd, gay, fetish, reddit, /pol/ threads etc. His posts are usually very tepid and short, serving as mere excuses to post the pictures which he finds in other threads, or are MLP loli porn, which he posts himself.

The only one I can think of is Umineko. In that game, magic is basically a perfectly covered up lie shared between two or more people, powered by strong feelings such as love... and it can only be defeated when people carrying the anti-magic toxin can prove a non-magical method that can achieve the same result, and those anti-magic feelings overpower the magical feelings of the lying party.

There was this series of MUD's that did magic very well, it went by The Inquisition, I think today it goes by 'Ti-Legacy.'
Basically, the way the magic worked was that you had to balance the moons every time you wanted to prepare a spell. To do this, you had to do a bunch of rituals. There were 5 moons, and to reflect this, five sets of ritual subtypes. Songs, Rhymes, Sacrifices, Sigils, and Dances. They all did the same thing and often shared the same qualities, but let's say you need to balance the moons, and all of them are balanced but Arien and Lunare. Arien's at -1 and Lunare is at +1. If you did a ritual that raised Arien and Lunare by 1, then Arien would be at 0 and considered balanced, but Lunare would then be at +2. Then you had to find a way to do a ritual that did -2 Lunare so it would go to 0. You had about ten moves and 20 rituals that moved various moons up and down, so every time you wanted to evoke a spell, you had to do a small puzzle with a time limit. From then, after you had evoked the spell, you could hold it in your bosom and 'invoke' it at any time.

Part of the way magic was so interesting is because while you automatically learned the spells, the rituals you had to learn manually through meditation and travelling through the fucking astral dimension, as well as slowly practicing spells of your particular element. In addition, you had spells that required certain components, and some spells you could imbue, so you can take multiple with you.
For example, an Air mage may have a thunderclap spell which blinds and deafens everyone in an area, but why not imbue it into a rock? Turn that rock into a fucking flashbang and skedaddle the fuck out with a backpack full of glowing rocks whenever you need to leg it.

All higher forms of art treat magic as something sacred and mysterious that is clearly lacking in today's video games.

In Lord of the Rings a "wizard" isn't human but more like a demigod race of people In LotR magic is spoken because that's how the world was created, the world was literally sung into existence and thus voices have power.

In A Song of Ice and Fire there are many different forms of magic that are all unexplained and mysterious. Some magic requires blood sacrifice and the blood of kings and rulers is more powerful.

In literally every video game ever you can shoot fireballs and lightning out of your ass because fuck it who cares you've got a mana bar.

Kinda fun but it's a FPS with some diablo-like stuff (you can find components and you expend them to create your spells, then you can use them whenever)
Plus you can only have 3 elements active at a time and you can only gain experience on 3 "enabled" elements, if you "disable" one element to enable another you lose all progress so it gives you more damage but it kinda entices you into "fossilizing" on those 3 elements

Give it a spin

The mmo asheron's call required different reagents for each spell. The reagents required for a particular spell varied between characters. Reagents could be consumed and spells had varying fail rates depending on how high your skill was and how advanced the spell. If I remember right your character automatically 'said the magic words' in chat whenever you cast a spell, if you wanted you could type the magic words yourself and you'd also cast the spell. Useless but a fun detail.
