One thing from MO1 I really enjoyed was setting the cast last spell and cast last spell self to MB1/2.
The problem was it made it very difficult to do basic things like push someone out of the way, or switch to weapons if you were hybrid.
Also the keybinds in that game transfered to all your chars on the account, so you would need to switch your binds every time if you wanted MB1/2 for magic on your mage and melee on your fighter.
If you havn't tried it I encourage you to hop on MO1 and try setting MB1/2 to cast last/self and try casting a few spells. You will see how awesome the magic system feels with those binds set like that.
I've been trying to think of a good solution and encourage any alternate ideas about this.
What I got so far:
Add a bindable toggle key to switch between magic and melee mode.
If you have a weap equipped and hit the toggle it automatically puts your weap away.
If you equip a weapon it automatically puts you in melee mode.
Add optional icon in the corner of screen that shows if you're in melee or magic mode.
When in magic mode MB1/2 are cast last and cast last self.
also this could be optional in the settings to have it this way or like MO1.
