What are ppls thoughts on a piece of lore that changes how magic is cast n used, this is just a shower thought I had but rather than just requiring line of sight how would people feel about an alternative optional system that requires rituals / somatic and vocal elements
mages rather than being able to sit silently n cast have to do flavourful gestures and incantations, or perhaps have to stay in the same place to draw out their spell, maybe it could be an alternative form of focus too in that the mage can get back to their spell if they lose focus at the same stage where they left it
(example being mage is drawing their ritual on the ground around them but knocked away, they manage to get back and finish drawing whatever was needed and bAM the spell is fulfilled)

It wouldn't be new ones!
My idea would sorta be like a feat or overhaul, (feat making it optional but irreversible, i.e. you either use the new system or just cast where you can see, you can't flick between them)the idea would be, right now you can sit in a chair and as long as you have Line of Sight (LoS) you can just cast, only needing to do a tell
the feat/overhaul would be rather than just LoS, you have to do verbal+somatic elements, or do some sort of ritual to cast it, maybe the option to do one or the other depending on your situation
I.e. the new system, you can't just sit in a chair you'd have to be doing a verbal and loud incantation, as well as moving your hands or body to fulfil the spell, or if you're out in the open you would draw some sort of ritual around yourself
It'd also mean that maybe connection operates differently, maybe rather than just losing your entire spell if you fulfil the incantation or ritual (say drawing this circle with runes, or fulfilling a set of phrases and gestures) the spell can still be finished
It'd also mean that people would have different methods they'd have to use to break your connection, which could spice up rp rather than just pocket sand, such as getting you away from your ritual spot, or stopping you from talking / restraining your hands to keep you occupied - which to note, right now you could still technically cast a spell from behind a shield as long as you could see over/around it
