New magic combate system

I'm currently making a new game and have an idea for a new magic system. Long story short players would have to build a spell on the spot using a combination of buttons that represent the spell path through the magic system currently it would posses 6 keys and 7 attributes allowing for over200k possible spells. Doing it this way restrains mages from moving while casting, allows for visual indication what spell your casting and allow player enemies a chance to cast a counter spell. This would also encourage people to play in groups with more physical combat type players. Just thinking what people think

Sounds like it would need to be a computer game.

Aside from that, I think the system would be playable and have some suspense and strategy to it. It might turn out to be very cool.

It wouldn't necessarily have to be a computer game since the spells would be a sequential combination it would be just like putting in old cheat codes on a console. Infact now that I think about it people who choose to use a controller might be at an advantage due to the fact that they use joysticks for movement allowing for quicker movement after casting
