Should you use magic in video games?

I'm wondering this as I'm playing Fable III.

It is a component of many fables and fictions in literature.
It hasn't caused any particular harm because people know it is only make believe.
How is it being used in video games?

Magic is just one of the skills you can use.

All right
Magic has always been a component of entertainment; shows, folklore, literature
It is a better way to defeat the dastardly video game opponents and win the game than some more lethal and realistic "skills" I have seen in video games.
You know it is just fairytales and fantasy.
I don't see the harm, but then I will qualify that with this caveat: I don't know the game and it could be more than I suppose.
If the ways and means in which it is used in the game make you uncomfortable, and it seems it did, then it is for you to use your mature judgement as to whether you want to play.
There are many vido games and some are very violent and weird. Best to find one that makes you feel good rather than wondering, "Is this really Ok?" Perhaps, if you have to ask, then the answer might be "no"

I play as a mage in every RPG. There is literally no problem with this. It's fake.

If your conscience condemns you, then no. Do you believe you are being disobedient when you use magic in video games?

Don't worry too much about it, it's just a bunch of code in action

This is spot on.

While I personally do not judge others (even though I have a disdain for the word magic itself lol) for playing video games that are not the epitome of godliness, I think it is best not to play them.

I have in the past played games such as Cod (zombies included) and many others full of violence, and also played Clash years ago.

Clash of clans has much witchcraft and magic in it, and I played it for awhile until Lord Jesus asked me which one I loved more.

Sank my battleship.
