First Person Sorcery

First person shooters with an emphasis on spellcasting.

I picked up Immortals of Aveum on a deep discount and it got me thinking about this sub-genre of shooters.

Wizordum, Sorceress, Shadow Warrior 2013, the Jedi Knight games to an extent, and Dishonored 1 and 2 would count too I think.

Whoops I forgot only the first Jedi Knight was an FPS, Outcast and Academy were third person.

@ZapRowsdower I had completely misremembered Dark Forces 2... I was sure that as soon as you get the jedi stuff the game switched to 3rd person automatically and stayed that way. I'm glad I checked gameplay footage before trying to correct you hahaha. Great suggestions; thanks!
