Magic Spells - Seeable or Not?

I tend to call it Flashy! I dont know why they made it so.. flashy. Hard to see things.

For that reason, and that reason alone I have the mod that removes all spell affects completely, sure it's a slight hamper on what the enemy may or may not have, but meh my character with low spell craft probably wouldn't know that anyway. I personally think it detracts from the game seeing everyone in a giant red/flower/checkered/glowy bubble running around pew pewing everything, so I remove them completely. Problem solved.

do think they went a bit overboard with spells, fully buffed I dont know how a mage can see anything through those lights without being blinded

Every spell that has a visual, has a visual that should be reacted accordingly IG.

This is because many people haven't played PnP and thus don't know that the spells don't usually have visual effects. It's best to keep to what's apparent IG.
