Name the game with the most fun spellcaster (wizard/mage/witch/whatever) you've played in a game.
Hard mode: no whining about vidya

For combat, probably vanilla WoW frost mage or fire mage. Blue Mage on FFXIV is technically the most broken job, but you aren't allowed to use it in typical content. Hogsharts gives you very powerful spells that are outlawed in-universe but you aren't actually penalized for using them (the game is too easy and gay even without them though). In general, Daggerfall and Morrowind magic systems feel extremely versatile. Not exciting answers I'm sure.

Been craving an action RPG with good magic and progression. Don't know how pure casters fare on BioShit games like Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect. Was looking at KoA Reckoning as well. Played Dragon's Dogma and most of the Souls games, but melee is a lot more fun than magic on those games.

Hard to pick one of the four in this, they're all so much fun in their own ways.  FOnewm and FOmarl are probably the most interesting.
I've heard Magicka is fun but I've never played it.

Dark Messiah has some fun spells.

Magic almost never feels good in games assfaggots is probably the best when it comes to magic that feels good  but as games they're repulsive in  every sense.
>>280649
I remember being hopeful for this game when Paradox said they were working on a DRM-free version.  Sadly that turned out to be a lie.
The witch in dragon: marked for death was pretty fun. Shame the control scheme limited her to 4 elements in a 5 elements game.
Spellcasters in divinity original sin 2 with the epic encounters mod. It is definitely a spectacle when you pull off some ritual spells.

Magic in Outward seems really interesting, it's the only magic system I've seen that is more complex than "press X to fireball", but also isn't a weird gimmick. I think you need to put in some work before you're able to use it though.

There are ton out I can think of. First one that comes to mind are of course  Path of Exile 1 and 2 and some extend Grimdawn. Geneforge is simplistic but also very interesting since it is designed around being a summoner. Since OP hasn't put any limits to Genres, I put Project Warlock in it that plays like Catacomb the Labyrinth with guns. If you can stomach primitive graphics and convoluted menu design, Ultima has a interesting magic system centered around Alchemy. Excet in VIII were Garriot changed it up a bit. Sure I have played a ton more games with sorcerers, but the way magic has been implemented in them isn't that interesting. Lest we forget the almost limitless flood of cute 'em ups of which 2hu is the most prominent one. Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil is still practically freeware in the West. Another interesting example is Cotton a series which plots focus on Comedy rather than serious drama. Maybe give the most technical impressive example, Panorama Cotton for Sega Genesis a try.

Magic may look interesting in Outward, but it is really ass to use, because the devs limited the number of quickbar slots to like 4.

Magicka is fun. Try it.

DA:O mages are great. They have combination effects you get by applying multiple spells at once and blood mage + arcane warrior specialties lets you be a tank and a pure spellcaster in one. Other specs feel like you're gimping yourself, however.
ME biotics don't really feel like mage gameplay to me. In ME1 it's all crowd control while you shoot. In ME2 adepts suck and vanguard is a melee charge class.
Soul Sacrifice Delta had a cool spell based combat, I need to dust off the game and finish it.
