It has spellcrafting, and does it excellently. More games should have spellcrafting. It looks great, has some fun puzzles, and the story (though not spectacular) does its job. On the negative side: it's not very challenging, gameplay feels a bit clunky, and the spellcrafting (while fantastic) isn't utilized to its full potential. There are several runes that are used for one puzzle and have little to no application anywhere else.
