Ideas how to better imbed strategic spells

from Elemental Forums

Strategic spells in my opinion don't feel well included into the game. Opening the spell book through a button from beneath the mini map, then selecting your spell and target on the world map just kills immersion to some degree.

It is like doing something from outside the game, instead of acting as the souvereign and being part of the world. While I have no idea how this could be solved in an elegant way, I wonder if others feel the same and may come up with some suggestions?

It's fine with me, at least until someone can come up with a better explanation.

For example there could be a building or an ancient place discovered throug a quest (on a per fraction basis) and the souvereign (or a champion -> priest trait?!) had to go there to celebrate the strategic spell ritual. Something like that, where you first have to unlock certain opportunities and then follow certain rules to take the benefit of particular strategic spells.

Oh you mean like that. Yeah, there are some quest spells and such. That stuff is neat.
