    CQC skills would be handy for a stereotypical wizard. They’ll never expect it! Conversely, no one would expect wizardry from an orc in boxing gear.

        Yeah, and it becomes a lot more intuitive if you replace the word “boxing” with “kung fu” or some other eastern martial art term! In manga, fighters mixing martial arts and magic is completely standard.

        I could see this being a thing.

        Your gloves get enchanted before the battle with special effects, maybe during the battle you can enchant them further.

        Otherwise it’s a pretty legit boxing game, just with wizards.

    Gives me a great mental image of any of those iconic boxing photos where one guy’s face is turned to rubber, but they’re replaced with Voldemort.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t fuck with someone who could cast buffs on themselves like enlarge and then teleport into melee range
