Leading up to its release, none of Avowed's combat playstyles have proven to be quite as flashy as its magic combat, to the point it could be argued that Hogwarts Legacy should be taking notes. It has turned out, however, that magic combat in Avowed is effective in far more than its ability to put on a show alone, with elements of impact, diversity, and engagement all found within the housing of its spellcasting flair that make it one of the best ways to play the game.
