I had to start off with a classic. All of the Elder Scrolls games are excellent if you like role-playing games you can get lost in for days, but for mages, Morrowind is the best of the bunch. The magic system is deep, with players able to mix and match alchemy, mysticism, illusion, and other supernatural skills to create bespoke spells of their own creation. If you want to hang out with other magically-inclined individuals in a Hogwarts-style institution, the men and women of Morrowind’s Mage’s Guild will show you the ropes, sell you components, and teach you a trick or three. (Locations in most major cities.) Plus, it’s set in a massive open world, just like The Game That Shall Not Be Named.
