Those stay in FF14 Actually following the athletics of this game anime is a great reference for inspiration. Now if you are talking about pantheon or mortal online 2 you can say those games wont have really as interesting effects. The inspiration for this game is classic western medieval fantasy. not shonen/isekai anime. you dont over the top anime spells to be really visually pleasent.

Have you seen magic in Ashes though? It's all kinds of rainbows and particle effects. Megumin's explosions got less fucking particles than AoC's mages.

Any games or movies that demonstrated these forms of spells, that left an impression? Or its all in the noggen?

Any games or movies that demonstrated these forms of spells, that left an impression? Or its all in the noggen? So far it has been in the noggen. With that said, that doesn't mean it doesn't have graphics. Knock is quite simple, it'll open locks and what have you. Doesn't need a graphic persay. The sound effect that makes creatures and such notice you, you can have the little wavey effect that usually goes with sonic type of attacks. Thaumaturgy, depending on how you use it can create a little gust of wind to turn douse the flame of that torch, similarly, you can target it at the floor to rustle some leafs, twigs, or something else. Causing a distraction. Prestidigitation, you can use to clean your armour/stuff. Doesn't need flashy graphics. Or you can use it to make foods have a different taste/scent. Could add a graphic for that, if you really wanted to. But these are just examples of how you don't -have- to make things flashy. If you got for some sort of explosion effect. You don't have to be Megumin from above. You can just as easily have something less over the top. And you could have it depend on the effect the spell gives. Is it purely damage. Take that into account with the effects, same for pushbacks. Want it to be more like said a flashbang grenade, whiten the screen of those in its area of effect. If I cast fireball, I want a simple fireball, I don't need to have it explode in thousands of sparkles and embers whilst a Fanfare marches and shoots confetti guns.
