Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Magical guns: What're my options?

Being the crazy guy that I am, I find myself tempted by the idea of magic guns.
Now, they do not need to be truly magical. Status effects and elemental damage are what I'm after here. If it shoots regular bullets magically, it's also out.
What I've played that fits the bill:
Monster Hunter 2 Freedom
Bioshock
Mass Effect
I'd like to avoid JRPGs if possible. Looking for real-time, direct control, ideally. Further, if the game has some kind of crafting/modifying system so I can make my own willy-nilly(like the enchanting in Elder Scrolls, though that doesn't apply here since it lacks guns), that's a big bonus.
So, any ideas?
EDIT: I should've mentioned this...I have a DS, PSP, 360, Wii, and access to the PS2 and oXbox. No PS3, no gaming computer.

Which? One of the old ones, or the 360 flop?
...Does the 360 flop even have bots?
The 360 one. I have no idea about the bots but I guess someone must still be playing it... right?

Seriously. Not the greatest games, but yeah.

Yeah, and lots of cool spells too.
Darn, just being reminded of that makes me want to re-install again.
Oh shit, I was just about to say Arcanum.
Final Fantasy XI -> Carbuncle - Samash
You can also have a pistol with a 30 round magazine. that's gotta be a little magical.
What do you have in mind? The only one that comes to mine is the Auger and maybe the Bullseye (shooting a homing target your bullets follow is sadistic, once you get to thinking about it).
I have to say Metroid Prime 1. Shoot something with your fire beam, it's set ablaze. Shoot a Metroid with an ice beam and it's frozen in a block of ice, then you can break it into a hundred pieces with a missile. I guess an arm cannon technically isn't a gun, though...

Landshark gun.
Possibly the lamest shit Square has ever designed. Decent game, though.

Most of the weapons are pretty normal with their looks being the only unusual thing.
Ratchet and Clank?
Devil May Cry?
Oh and i guess.. FF7 has editable guns.. kinda..
Also gunblades were around before playstatons so shut up they are awesome
Nearly a full page before this was posted.
Also:
Strangers Wrath.
And
Mass Effect has no magical guns. All shoot conventional projectiles. Real the lore people!
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
Yeah but it also had guns powered by sunlight so you know, anything goes.
The point isn't the source, it's the final effect; Mass Effect let me set people on fire, irradiate them, freeze them, and so on with my rounds. Whether it's done by magic or sci-fi tech does not matter much to me.
Yeah but effects-wise it's not very "magical." It's basically just a really good tranq gun.
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
And demon guns.
Yeah, Stranger's Wrath is a good choice. Good game, fun and funny guns.
Well I mean they were ter'angreal and it was sort of just a shooter. They were magical, maybe not guns in the strictest sense of the word, but they still shot magic projectiles.
