So I was out and about in Thanalan earlier, when a friend of mine asks if I want to come see the new spells he learned.

Ancient Magic?

YES PLEASE!

Loved the huge animations for these in XI, and how cool they sounded, but I wasn't expecting to see 6 elemental farts in a row. Honestly, the spells look so weak, I don't think I will ever bother using them. They do nice damage and all, but look terrible.

Where is the epic spinning tornado? The shattering earth? The explosive fire? The rushing winds and crushing waves, and giant glaciers of ice?

It actually looked like a fairy had broken wind each time.

Hopefully when the TII's come out they might look more powerful than something that would happen when you sneeze in a box of glitter.
