Dominions

skyrim

this but unironically

wizardry

Lostmagic for the NDS was cool in that EVERY combination of 2 of the 18 spells had a result, and a lot of 3 spell combinations too. So you ended up with a shit ton of spells

arx fatalis

I want to like this, for the sake of such a neat fucking character design, but goddamn is the story awful.

your taste is just shit

bumping for interest. games with varied and/or interesting magic systems are few and far in between. also if anyone says "magicka" disregard them as they are full of shit. the spell combination system would be a lot more interesting if the game didn't boil down to "ok you found the best combo now spam it forever" since everything nets the same effect

...

Dragon's Dogma. If only for how fucking deliciously kinetic it feels.

>Stand around casting some shit for 10 years
It's all worth it because calling fucking METEORS down upon your enemies is tight.

This.

>ok the characters and the world seems cool
>pedo forced wife shojoshit bullcrap pops up

>women don't need men and definitely don't need big strong masculine men
>twilight, 50 shades, beauty and the beast, and this are all very popular stories written by women, for women
>they all boil down to "small weak girl who is special for some reason is more or less held captive by a big scary but sexy monster of a man who has to hold himself back from destroying her

Really gets the noggin joggin don't it

...

OP's pic is from Magician's Wife isn't it? Looked to be the most popular anime of the season on MAL and I bet it's because it's basically just a self-insert show for fujos who want to pretend that they're the one the demon magician wants to marry.

To be fair you'd have to be a faggot to not want to marry Elias.

>watch any old shojo anime
>there's always a rape scene
>the mc dates or ends up with the older man

Nah, you just have shit taste.
I'm sorry

>Tried that show because the premise sounded interesting
>Tone all over the place
>Watching the ED
>"wait did they just dab?"

...

You people do realize that Magus Bride runs in a Shounen monthly magazine right?

>fujos
This word has lost all meaning.

this must be the dumbest fucking thing in anime for mme. how do you fuck up that bad.

Whats dumb about it?

In the manga it says that she's a Slay Vega, which is typical of japanese people trying to name something in english to look cool/mysterious (and asians in general, look at korean mmmo names), but for some reason someone translated it into this, and i have no fucking idea what these words are even supposed to be, maybe someone who is native in english could tell me if they're even words at all.

Technically, this is the more accurate name. It's a Celtic fae folk thing anime.stackexchange.com/a/23150

The problem is, no one has ever heard of it before (googling it just gets you results for the manga) and no one knows how to pronounce manx correctly so it sounds fucking stupid. So it's more accurate and thematically correct, but it's totally lost on 99% of the audience and makes you sound like a retard saying "slay beg-gy" out loud

Sleigh Beggy is a different spelling of Sleih Beggy, which is more or less a fairy in Manx fokelore. The Manx were the tribe of people that lived on the Isle of Man.

The op is great

Thanks m8s, i actually didn't know that, i'm not well versed in fantastic folklore other than the slavic one a little bit. Still, as you said, it's aa big difference from the manga and it's just confusing - on one hand it makes sense, on other it just sounds awful.

Is this show even any good?

I feel like they should have compromised, and gone with sleih vega. I always thought the "slay" part was a bit weird, and sleih would have given it faint connections to the manx lore while still keeping it pronounceable with a mystical looking name. Beggy is so fucking stupid

It's shojoshit.

Why can't I be his bride?

Wait until the end of the season to watch it, the start is slow but it gets better. If you don't feel like waiting, read the manga instead. It's nice.

So what's the deal with this smug Capra demon?

>Shojoshit
>runs in a shounen magazine
ok
You aren't magical or cute

He's retardedly powerful and has a cute underage waifu, why shouldn't he be smug?

I want to fuck that thing.

I started on the manga and it's probably my favorite current running series. It's the first series in a long while that when a new volume comes out I get cozy with some music and read it cover to cover. It's beautiful.

>All the people ITT that equate romance to "shojoshit"
Troglodytes, all of you.

Not a spell, but god damn that Arc of Fuck Shit Up was devastating and satisfying when you landed that perfectly.

it's a decent wish-fulfilment fantasy, user, that ain't romantic

Dragon's Dogma
Magicka series

oh and Divinity original sins 2

>forced "romance" rape fantasies isn't shojoshit

>post yfw the anime hits Joel and redcurrant's arc

Purchasing a slave and grooming her to be your wife isn't romance, it's stockholm syndrome bullshit at best.

I can stand by Sleigh/Sleih Vega

You watch anime, your taste is already abysmal-tier

Because it's a shoujo manga pretending to not be one

He isn't grooming her for nothing. Elias is just childishly naive and doesn't even grasp what human concepts like "marriage" even really are. He is teaching her magic while trying to find a way to keep her magic from killing her, and she is teaching him how to be human. It's sweet.

i'm confused, where's the rape?

...

>it's sweet

>one page taken out of context

The context being he lost control of himself and went feral for a night and then lost himself mentally as well and almost ate her but managed to snap out of it and run away to protect her from himself. You know, sweet

It's a fantasy/drama series, not a slice of life. Elias dealing with his monsterous nature is a plot point in a story, it's meant as a conflict to overcome that Chise is helping him with. You know, to make the story interesting. After this she forgives him and comforts him about it, so yeah, it's still pretty sweet.

It's really not. It starts that way but it becomes clear that dog head man has the emotional maturity of a small child so it's that sort of "who's taking care of who" mushy family story thing going on. I mean if you were expecting super magic battles then you'd be disappointed but with the title it has, what did you expect?

So what the fuck is he? Fae?

...

My money is on a windego. It's known he used to eat people and it's been suggested that he's something inbetween human and fae

season 2 when?

>grooming
Elias doesn't really understand what a wife is beyond "lifelong partner" because he's just imitating humans. The only reason he decided to make her his bride and is insisting on calling their outings honeymoons is because it's common for magicians to marry their apprentices and he just assumes he's doing the normal thing.

I mean, it's directly taken from real-life lore, why would they translate it to something else?

The general theory right now is that he's a fae who tried to become human, but fucked up the spell and became a random mishmash of both.

>tfw no proper Earthsea anime

Because Chise is not actually a Sleigh Beggy. Within the story she is often referred as the "most precious child of the night" and is compared to a dying star, so Vega is more appropriate than Beggy.

because, according to this description, Chise is nothing like a SB

i wanted to read that, how's it like?

They want one who isn't an asshole.
It's not that women like assholes and bad boys, they just like charismatic , sexy and exciting dudes but the ones that also are nice guys are in short supply and they usually end up with nice stacies so they have the choice between the asshole versions (that even nice stacies know that they are scum) or nice guys that aren't sexy, charismatic and exciting.
Men don't really realize what is it to at least be able to fuck Chad even if it's unlikely to become serious.
Imagine if the average man could fuck a 9/10 but she will be a bitch who don't want to do anything serious with you? wouldn't you be tempted to go for it instead of some plain jane? Rich men often make the same choice with gold dingers because the temptation is just too strong when the choice is really possible.
Most men don't have that so they are generally unaware.

...

Really good, even though it's a YA meme

Don't post that

Until you realize the full extent of Elias's autism.

What is "this" exactly?

Instead of two plague ridden dogs he's got a cute girl and doll by his side.

what is the /x/ of video games?

that's my fetish

And Ruth. So one plague ridden dog

Mediocre shoujoshit.

That is such a fucking cool design.

I bet whatever game, cartoon or anime he's in sucks dick though. Is that even a him?

Arx Fatalis forces you to manually draw runes on your screen to do magic, it's a shame that most of spellcasting effects are kinda generic.
Baldur's Gate games allow you to feel like a fucking archmage.
Two Worlds 2 has a shitload of creative and fun spell effects like being able to summon an anvil rain and then create a tornado that picks them up and spins them around you.
Underrail has psi instead of magic but its casting mechanics are by far the best out of any modern CRPG, with a huge lean on crowd control and psionic combinations.

Some mouthbreather recommended me Dragon's Dogma as an example of a good magic system but it's rarely for me to find a game with such a boring casters.

being nice to people? I think more people should have that fetish

>dude shoujo rape lmao

So it's you who's making those threads over and over.

so is this manga/anime aimed towards girls with a prince fantasy?

It's about a wendigo who bought himself a magical cum dumpster.

except there's no cum dumping anywhere to be found and they have a mute chaperone in the house AND she has a magical dog that's guarding her 24/7

>magical dog
>doing shit against an ancient wendigo who is so scary an entire church doesn't want to mess up with him
