Hi Dark, Well, to be honest the kinds of wand motions we are talking about are generally pretty simple. For example, Alohomora, which Phil uses in Sarah, is left, right, down, up. You can do that pretty fast in the Harry Potter games. Remember we aren't talking huge motions here so using a mouse a little move left, a little move right, a little move down, and a little push forward would do it. What's that a couple of seconds?
Generally speaking you have plenty of time to pull off a wand movement like that. It is certainly faster than bringing up the spell menu and looking through the list for the one you want. In fact, that is a big reason why I'm suggesting it. I think the spell menu is too slow and doesn't give you a quick and easy way to get to the spell you want. With the mouse you can draw the spell, click the left mouse button, and presto. Cheers!
