GW swicord, you certainly have your priorities

I'm under the impression we don't have a dev journal yet because they have not come to a conclusion exactly how it is going to work.  Thinking of all the screenshots and stuff, we haven't seen any magic yet.  I'm sure we'll know by june though, and that isn't that far off.

  it's the closest thing to +infinity available...

I am guessing that the magic system is something that they feel like they can work out the details fairly late in the dev cycle (and they are probably right) So we may not even have a good idea on the magic system in the early betas. I mean there will be spells, I hope, considering the title, but they may just be placeholders at first with no intention that they will be in the final version....

What game is the screen shot from?

I like the idea of the "invisable familiar".  That would be a fun spell.

I would also like to see landscape altering spells like -"wall of thorns" that would give an undersized army time to retreat.
