Can't agree or disagree. I personally prefer one click to use spells that do what the description of the spell says they do without relying on how fast or dexterous I am with my keyboard and mouse. 
Me as well not a fan of mini-games every time you cast spell.

I smell a... wumpus!?
Dragon's Dogma spells weren't terribly impressive from a pure gameplay standpoint but, like he said, the presentation was incredible!
Not mentioned: Sacrifice, which had even more impressive spells than Dragon's Dogma for the time it was released. But it's way more of a real-time strategy game than an RPG.

There are a few interesting variations on magic. A bit shallow though.
He missed another dimension which is the tactics behind rulesets like D&D and its derivative, Pathfinder: preparation / reduced set of spontaneously cast spells, reservoir, concentration, types of spells...
And on the other hand I don't see why he mentions D:OS2 for its AoE, it has nothing to do with magic. I would even argue that people like D:OS2 despite those AoE, rarely thanks to them!

Do you know about the Arx Insanity mod? It's basiclly a remaster of Arx. It's not finished yet, but there's a demo.

I found its way to "cast" magic at least very creative. I love it when people think out of the box.
