Held magic

Commonly used for things that produce an effect similar to a flamethrower.

This may be automatic, in that the magic causes an active drain on the spellcaster's energy reserves and is cancelled on any new action by the player (regardless if it's magic or just fidgeting about), or requires player to actively hold it somehow (such as simply holding down the "cast" button).

Does not include passively maintained magic (e.g. buffs).
