It was kind of ridiculous. But then again, enemy magic was unavoidable, so after the first two or three hours of the game being skilled at the game wouldn't even help you. It was analyze, spam, spam, spam, cure, spam some more.Then of course there's that crappy magic system that forced you to walk around casting spells over and over just for them to be useful. Did anyone ever actually spend the time to get the girl's gnome level higher than zero?
