No damn boring Melee combat

I want to make a game(eventually) and I was wondering if it was a bad idea to just have all of the character''s skills magic. In my opinion melee combat is boring (I mean, look at Diablo). I think spellcasting is the most fun part of ANY game(makes you feel powerful, cuz ne1 can swing a sword). You''ve got to choose your talent points at the beginning(or save em for later), you can put them in any of the eight classes of magic to begin with. The eight classes of magic are: Weather, Summoning, Auras, Underworld, Elemental, Earth Control...and...uh...o i''ll think of some more... Talents improve your efficiency in a class of magic. You can only add additional talent points in a class of magic unless you have the super spell in that class of magic. There are 10 spells in each class of magic which can be upgraded to lvl 7. Once you have one kind of spell at level 7, you can get a super-spell. For example : in the Weather class of magic, there is the Hurricane spell. Once it is leveled up seven times, you can get a super spell. The super spell for Hurricane is "Tropical Storm" which is much more powerful than a level seven hurricane. And with talents in the Weather class magic, that spell will be even better. Once all super spells have been learned in a particlular class, you are eligible for an ultimate spell. One ultimate per class. So with eight classes or magic, you can have summoned creatures, auras to help them out. And a limitless supply of spells to crush your enemies. (the story of this game I''m keeping secret for now.) So....what do you think? Is there any game like this already? If it is, I havn''t played it before. To tell you the truth I don''t play much fantasy games. But if my dream came true of making this game with all the ideas, graphics, etc that I had in mind, I beleive the game would be capable of selling a million copies.

If your talking about my game, I''ll say this: I don''t know what type of game it''ll end up being. To tell you the truth I don''t even know what some of those genres mean! Like turn based and real time(I think I know what real time is, don''t have a clue what turn based strategy is!)
