dScribe is a First Person Weapons/Action Control System that uses the Mouse and Cursor(s) to

The system provides a unique Point & Click interface suitable for fast past action within a First Person `Shooter` view and allows hand/weapons to be removed from view area. Another feature of the system detachment of cursor from the camera allow free movement of the cursor along XY axis.
A variety of Animation and Movement techniques can be applied to the cursor. Animation, Special Effects, and Sound FX are applied to the `Scribe` (drawn line) coupled with traditional particle/lensflare/decal/shader effects.
Pathing: Draw Paths for movement using freeform, splines, etc. The MB is used to drop waypoints/spline points along the path.
Slashing: Draw Lines (straight & curve) that represent slash/wield strikes. The MB is held down during the `slash` and released upon completion.
Blasting: Mouse moves Cursor along X/Y. The MB is used to generate a Burst (instant Line Of Sight Damage) or Projectile when pressed/released.
Casting: Draw Symbols (Runes) that activate Spells. The MB is held/release to draw symbols. When the symbol is completed (via Digital Character Recognition) then the spell is activated.
