    Id just like to point out to all those "Glow" haters, there's much more than glow that are visual effects that can be used for weapons.
    It dosent have to be WoW related & with intense glow. (cuz some of glow in there are too much)

    Tiny sparkles, smoke, heat, frost, distortion visual effects (even if small / tiny)
    Id love to whip up some artwork to show you but im so tired from my daily work im not even gonna bother.

    But i do suggest SE plays with the idea of implementing some (not all) weapons & gear with some badass looking visual effects.

    Crystal Sword... dosent need to glow, some glass-reflective visual representation. (sword is just an example)

    Frost sword... chilled vapor emiting from swords blade, faint crackling sound.

    Skull staff... heat vapors / colored smoke comin out of the eye sockets slowly then fades out, repeat.
    (the color itself could represent wich elemental status the staff has for example)

    Blood Shield... slowly dripping blood shield.

    - I really like the design of the "Bullhead" shield (forgot its name), but it would look much cooler if
    some smoke came out of the nose, like its going wild, ready to charge.

    Lantern shield looks cool but feel useless for a mage.

    Anywayz, it's just some ideas, i wish i could show you.
    Have faith, dont ignore imagination.

    - Sorry for any missed typos >.<

    Needless to say that Magitek does exist, otherwise I would point out that SE would be more focused on how that steam would be coming out of the bull, you know, the inner mechanics of these armors and weapons.

    In other words, there would have to be some elemental affinity to these items to add certain effects, or else it probably wouldn't make too much sense. For example, adding the Fire Element to that Shield could be plausible to the shield emitting that steam.
