How does anyone enjoy spellcasting in RTwP?

[Horse-Man]

There is literally nothing redeeming about RTwP when it comes to spellcasting.

Although I prefer turn based in general spellcasting isn't that bad provided you take the time to seriously tweak the auto pause setting beyond recognition.

What do you mean? Just press space when your guy needs to cast a spell.

There's nothing redeeming about RTwP in general. It's just a garbage combat system through and through.

The only thing redeeming about it in Tyranny is I can stop my healer's AI from healing my DPS with like 1/4 of their health missing over the Tank on their dying breath because the DPS is closest, without having to start a new action and go through recovery again.

I strongly agree, the first thing anyone should do is disable party AI completely and then realize how useless spell casting is. Lots of pretty lights and barely any effect on combat.

??? what are you talking about?
You just auto-pause at start of combat, cast 4 buffed Scorching Missiles, and the fight is over.
And illusion to make your guys all super hard to hit.

Fun is subjective, but it does show that the poster claiming magic isn't effective is either lying or doesn't understand how magic works in this game.

The game doesn't feature a ton of spells but the different sigils you can use to buff them can make them quite powerful.
