I absolutely love arcane, thats why i main it. Its just very magical and no other game seems to have anything like arcane magic. Its pretty and feels extremely powerful and otherwordly unlike fire and ice which are real life elements.
Also the arcane misiles feel so cool and good.
Yep, no I stick with this one [taps scaly chest]
Casting a pretty flower in your hand but actually healing all around you.
Can be a “dragon” or hide in vissage, and fly to boot too.
Would. Even if I enjoy melees more in retail.
Now that’s a difficult question.
I’m drawn to light and shadow magics, of which Light has more obvious uses (healing and curing the sick is very valuable, so is brightening your living space with it).
Shadow’s mainly about inflicting torment, which isn’t what you’d look for in a social setting. But spells like Mind Vision or Control can be very useful, the former allowing to peer into the enemy’s head, possibly thoughts, and the latter forcing your bidding on them.
Fire’s handy in winter to keep you warm or whenever you need to ignite one, but this utility isn’t worth much with the abundance of lighters.
Frost on the other hand could curb the extreme heatwaves during summer (also halting wildfires) and people like thieves could greatly benefit from the crowd control of a frost mage’s arsenal.
Nature’s primary draw is with reforesting areas (such as places that were desecrated for wood) or restoring/maintaining ecosystems. Now needless to say, if the local flora/fauna get changed, that heavily affects those living nearby ie. because the alteration of the food chain means a species has no enemies to keep them in check so they can wipe out their own enemies entirely, and this causes a chain reaction completely upsetting a balance.
Void kinda falls under shadow magics to me. I talked about that.
No idea how Arcane or the dragon’s magics would exist in this world. Elements are covered by Fire, Frost and especially Nature.
Necromancy does one thing, which is raising the dead again. But in no game does that mean giving life - whoever returns is not the same as its living self, only a reanimated shallow husk. Better prevent death in the first place rather than bringing a dead body back.
Fel/chaos magics aren’t worth it too much either. Wielding it always comes with drawbacks, like the eredar becoming demons or others losing their minds/souls to it. Making a pact with the devil should be only a last resort.
So in terms of usefulness my top 3 picks are:
Light > Nature > Frost.
Arcane all day, every day!
Free food. Teleportation, coolnes/warmth on command.
Someone trying to act like an a** and cut in line - turn into a sheep/anything else.
Someone driving recklessly - slow 'em down to a crawl.
What’s not to like?
Edit: Also allows you the right to say every joke and pun of Arnold’s Mr. Freeze while wielding frost magic.
“Polymorph” turn people into sheep, and off to the abattoir for them! become the largest “sheep farmer” in the world
That sounds like the funniest most morbid horror movie ever, we’ll call it “Arcanist”
This is my kind of magic
IRL? Definitely fel because… well… you know… that level 28 lock summon.

Its a kind of magic 
I ll answer simply
I personally have mini magic identity crises every two weeks… Haha.
Its a constant battle between void, arcane, astral and dragon aspect magic… THEN it goes deeper… I switch between Old God void, cosmic void, blue and bronze.
