What icon best represents magic?

[Crono]

blue :3

[Deas_Voice]

a crystal shad is how i image magic, i've seen stone shads on "magical" tv shows such as "Legend of the seeker" :o

[Loriel]

Go to some WoW database website and go through all the caster classes' spell icons.

Blue lightning bolt imo.

[Dnegel]

Spell Points is Green, Mana Points are blue.

I think a MP icon can be many things, a big book maybe? (Like the Heroes II Knowlege icon f.eks)

A tilde, most epic and confusing image ever

Something that's simple and that everyone can identify with magic, including people that've never played RPGs/MMOs before, like a Wizard's Hat or a Magician's Hat with a rabbit poking out of it?
Crystals are too ambiguous, man

This is what I just made going off from Luda's idea, which I think turned out semi-decent. It accomplished what I wanted: it's filling the icon space instead of leaving large empty areas(like a wand or lightning bolt would), and I was able to mold it to fit the style of the heart, I think. This doesn't mean I'm done with it, as I think this is an area not many think about and it'd be nice to still hear ideas(I still might do them!).

I actually love that...it matches the heart really nicely, and I love the simplicity of it. XD

Very awesome. :3

Go with this but something about the outer rim of each icon bothers me :S

I like the shape and the design of the outside, but I think the insides need to pop out more, right now they look just kinda flat.

Well, because they're for a gui instead of part of the world I never intended to give them the full depth you'd expect from their shapes.
