In his book The Magick Of Matter, Flicker whimsically redefines condensed matter physics as a form of sorcery, taking inspiration from stage magicians, fantasy books such as Ursula K Le Guin’s Earthsea quartet, and video games such asHalf-Life 2.

Exorcism and Ghostwire: Tokyo

Without really thinking about it, I’d be doing that kind of movement.
The power to dispel demons is in your hands – that is, if you know what to do with them. Ghostwire: Tokyo’s first-person magical fisticuffs are based on kuji-kiri, a set of ancient Japanese Buddhist hand gestures and symbols.
Ghostwire: Tokyo also leans on the kuji-kiri system’s division of labour between a receiving and emitting hand: protagonist Akito favours his right hand for offensive spells while his left is used for defensive gestures, reeling in spirit cores, and picking up objects. “People may feel like the character is left-handed at times,” Kimura jokes.

New wave magic
There’s a touch of cyberspace to the magic as well, echoing the game’s portrayal of Tokyo itself as a modern technological powerhouse as well as a city rooted in ancient traditions. Matrix-style maths equations play out in the background when you’re performing banishments, as though you are slicing, sealing and reprogramming your enemies all at once.

What does it all mean? That’s down to the individual to decide – magic is personal. Emily ‘eni’ Torres is a freelance programmer and designer with a strikingly varied output. On the one hand she is currently making an “ADHD simulator, reflecting my own experiences with executive dysfunction”, in addition to narrative and puzzle games for other teams. On the other, she works with Tarot cards.
For Torres, magic is about flexible symbolism. “The way something is perceived and the meanings that we apply […] to a thing or an act are going to affect what kind of magic can be performed with that object," she says. While these applied meanings don’t in themselves affect the world, she goes on, they can serve as a kind of amplifier. “Magic is meant to help, and won’t actually do anything without us doing something to make things happen. Can’t get a job without applying for a job, no matter how many ‘Get a job’ spells one might cast!”
Clash of symbols
In my approach to magic, everyone [has] different experiences to draw from even if the materials are the same.Emily Torres, programmer and designer
In my approach to magic, everyone [has] different experiences to draw from even if the materials are the same.
What makes a magician a magician? Perhaps the ability to meddle with those applied meanings deliberately, even breaking with established custom. Take burning sage to cleanse something, for example. This is an idea that can be found all over, from native American purification rituals to ancient Greek medicine. It carries a weight of social expectation, but as Torres goes on, the individual practitioner might find a way to override that association, turning sage into a toxic item.
“If someone’s experience with sage powerfully reflects getting something dirty, then rather than cleansing, that person might be able to override the social belief and use sage to sully something.” Torres does this with Tarot cards: rather than following a guide, she bases her readings on her own interpretations.
Witchcraft and Monster Hunter

Taking down oversized monsters might seem unlike magic, but preparation is key. Damien Crawford (who uses the pronouns fae/faer) is a creator of eldritch fantasy RPGs such as the acclaimed Purgatory Dungeoneer, a game about sending hero parties into a hellmouth both for loot and to unlock their own buried memories. Crawford also practises witchcraft.
“I was homeless for a few years. And it was very helpful to have someone to call on when I was [in] tough situations at night, when I needed to be alert.” Crawford’s magic rituals are simple on the surface, involving candlelight, lying down, breathing and focussing faer attention. “If I have a problem, I think about who I need to turn to, and what it is that I need to say. And whether that ends up actually being a matter of divine intervention, or whether it’s just me declaring my intent to the universe […] is less important to me than just that it helps me, so I continue to do it. Which is a weird sort of space to occupy in, you know, a technology field where almost everybody is atheist.”

Preparing for and executing a monster hunt is another kind of ritual.
Preparing for and executing a monster hunt is another kind of ritual.
Whatever its origin or nature, Crawford feels that magic has to be about more than imploring those forces to do your bidding. “I believe that faith without works isn’t faith at all. So it is important, if you’re going to ask the gods for help, to let them know that you don’t expect them to do everything for you, but to give you a hand, to get you out of the pit that you’ve put yourself in.”
Fittingly for a witch who invokes a divine huntress, Crawford has found echoes of this approach to magic inCapcom’s Monster Hunter series. Preparing for and executing a hunt to fell the series' mighty beasts is another kind of ritual, fae suggests.
“You select your goal, which is the quest, and then you know what monsters you’re hunting, what elemental defences they have, and whatnot. And then it’s like okay, now I need to plan my equipment around this, I need to have the correct weapons, because otherwise they’re immune. Then you have your meals for temporary buffs, and make sure that you’ve signed up for optional side-quests. And all that is very much like [performing magic and] waiting for the right time of day or night, making sure you have the materials on hand, making sure that you’re in the proper state.”
Experimental botany and Elden Ring

In the course of research for several games, including the now-cancelled Wildflower, Vartanian and Badru have played with the idea that plants have specific meanings or symbolism, like “hopeful” in the case of a dandelion seed. As with potion-brewing in many fantasy RPGs, their experiments consist of mixing these attributes together to see what happens. Vartanian calls this “wildcard cooking”, and it certainly sounds wild.
“You’re combining things that you know have [desired] attributes, but there aren’t necessarily specific recipes,” she says. The resulting concoctions vary greatly. On the one hand, the developers have made spruce tip jelly and nettle tea. On the other, they’ve managed to brew elderberry poison (“not on purpose”, Vartanian insists). Botany is a kind of time magic, as Vartanian and Badru have learned from periods spent living near woodlands during early spring.

In games, magic is just power, and it’s all very predictable, like a gun.Zoe Vartanian, Ice Water Games
In games, magic is just power, and it’s all very predictable, like a gun.
“We were walking through the woods every day and seeing little sprouts in the soil, and watching salmonberries come in,” Vartanian recalls. Monitoring these tiny changes “slows time down”, she says, “because you have all these points of reference - this plant right here is now totally different. And that’s kind of cool, because otherwise time goes so fast, and seasons can die in the blink of an eye. To be able to slow down, and know all the different times that this plant has looked different is kind of nice.”
Video game magic isn’t usually this poetic, Badru observes. “In games, magic is just power. And it’s very predictable, like a gun or a sword.” He’s more interested in approaches that lean on a “broad suspension of disbelief” than games in which magic is quite so systematised and predictable.
As such, he enjoys the stranger breeds of sorcery you find in Elden Ring which are as unpredictable as amateur herbology, and reliant on a “broad suspension of disbelief”. While the game has its fair share of bog-standard fireballs, it also has spells that are less straightforward, like conjuring horns from the caster’s shoulder, turning your weapons invisible, or driving foes mad from the inside out with the The Flame Of Frenzy (a whole school of forbidden magic that has a special ending attached). You’re never quite sure what to expect. “I think Elden Ring has this sense of ‘anything can happen’. It feels like it all makes sense, but also, it’s so open.”
