I did like to see wizards (us)/ players cast spells outside the battlering. After all we're wizards and we have the ability to cast spells and use magic in anytime. Of course, we have gardening spells, fishing spells, castle magic and more. But, when not talking about using a "feature", everything seems pretty odd. I did like to see magic everywhere anytime. For example, maybe you could add more cut scenes when the wizard uses his magical abilities to make a move or do something astounding in questlines.
There are so many options this (and the post) can grow from. I'd like to see what do you have more to offer.
