Well it's mostly ideas, but what the hell

I've been thinking about a fantasy FPS, like a mix between Doom, Heretic and Quake.

You would have a choice between two characters to play as: A sorceress and a mage. The main difference is in the spells (weapons they use) - the sorceress shoots elemental magic from her hands, whereas the mage uses ... uh ... arcane(?) magic with artifacts - a staff, a spellbook, a wand etc.

The story would be something simple - demons invading the realm, maybe an evil wizard somewhere in there because you usually have one.

Here's what I've come up with for weapons:

Sorceress:
1) Basic fireball attack, flies very fast and has a small explosion upon impact that does AoE damage. Think of it as a somewhat weak rocket launcher with the same rate of fire as a shotgun, and plenty of ammo. Alternate fire would shoot out a bunch of smaller fireballs in an arc that do less damage, but are more suitable when you're facing lots of enemies (either that or a wall of fire). Fire spells have a chance to ignite enemies, dealing continuous damage and also reducing them to ash when killed.
2) Barrage of icicles. Think Quake's nailgun, but with a chance to freeze enemies. Alt.fire would be an ice spear that goes through several enemies, kind of like Painkiller's stake gun. Frost spells have a chance to freeze enemies.
3) Lightning strike. Pretty much Quake's Railgun. Alternate fire would to channel lightning that bounces from enemy to enemy. Enemies killed with lightning spells have a chance to be either disintegrated or gibbed.
4) Ultimate spell - ? No idea yet
