It's worth noting that this game can be played natively with [Arx Libertatis](https://arx-libertatis.org/), which has improvements. The free copy will require running the Bethesda launcher, which isn't for Linux though. The instructions can be seen [here](https://bethesda.net/en/article/6rPaxM6vcW0ZgCaK6DCqKe/welcome-to-arkane-20), and is available until May 31 at 10am EST.

GOG has DRM-free version too just for the reference, and it's pretty cheap now.

Libertaris is a fine port indeed as I'm finding out..

but maybe someone can shed the light on:

Is it possible to AIM with MOUSE LOOK when about to release a spell?
in other words, I've correctly "drawn", say, a Magic Missile and I'm still holding the MAGIC key - but I can only aim with turn left/right up/down keys or screen edge turning???
given the disadvantage of having to draw the runes in the heat of the battle, it makes the usage of non-precast aim spells almost prohibitively cumbersome

^^^^^^^^^^
No it's not...
