Why are wizards in video games so lame?
The body was too short or empty.

Because computers are no match for the power of imagination

Systematizing magic makes it lose its wonder.

Magic is basically God so you have to find ways to nerf it

Obscuring coding data just leads to bloated games with high Gigabyte demands on both storage and RAM

Systematizing magic is necessary in games doe, but allowing it to be unexplained is cool in non interactive art like movies. Think the magic of spirited away.

It's not, but the way you would do it otherwise is to make all magic uses scripted.

It also typically made fucking sense for there to be concentration for telekinesis for example

I feel like the image explains it itself. One is from an RPG game, and the other a fantasy themed action game, where "magic" is literally just fancy projectile gun.
