One facet of the game that I thought was original was the magic system. Spells are cast using combinations of spell radicals. Basically, there are a set amount of different spell components (a spell language, if you will) that are combined in various forms to perform a range of magic spells. The spell components are performed using the d-pad. From speaking with some of our staff members, the actual mechanics of spell production are similar between Xbox and PC, though the patterns are more angular in the Xbox iteration, no doubt due to the lack of mouse support.
