Yes, of course. But rather than just make it up, I'd like to hear what the creators of the game have had in mind.
One of the greatest flaws in RQ was that magic was only descibed in terms of game-mechanics, and not in look-and-feel. The look and feel is at least as important, if not more so.
Hopefully we've learned a thing or two since then.
