^I agree.
Although I am hoping for a small twist in skill usage, the old way (click and sometimes, click on the target) gets a bit old. I personally enjoyed drawing the signs with B&W for miracles.
For example, to use a wood miracle, you had to draw the following picture (god, I suck at textart

):

Something along those lines.
Anyway, by drawing those signs, you could cast spells without selecting them first. I don't know if it would fit for Demigod but I kinda like the idea of doing something in order to cast a spell

edit: I need the dots the keep the slashes at the right spot

Edit: Ok, I can't draw it out

Let's just say you need to draw a simple image to cast a spell, ok?
