I've never played a shard with spells not fizzling. How are you suppose to stop other players spell? You have to avoid it by not being in his los?
Not trying to change the shard, but Fizzle has a really really important role in this game...

You can "counter spells" by casting other spells. For example if somebody is casting a flame strike on you then you can cast a greater heal on yourself to counter the spell, or a magic reflection to make it reflect back at the caster. You can also combine greater heal spell + greater heal pot and then surprise the attacker by attacking back etc.

This PvP is more about using weapons to get good hits, waiting for the right moment, and then calculating what kind of "combo dump" with different spells you will have to do in order to kill the other guy, without him managing to heal up from your attack. It's hard to explain in words, it's better to just try it out, but I think you'll like it

You can also run out of LoS if you prefer that, just not cancel it with a spell. It's not bad, it's just different. Give it a shot and you will see We have had several fizzle-pvpers who came here with the same thoughts u have, and most of them seem to have adapted pretty good already, and they still haven't been here long
