There are really minor differences from the original versions, and the few changes (including for instance the fact that you DO NOT have to look at your spell book while medding) don't interfere with the feeling you get, which remains incredibly the same.

Old spell looks are different, you can get them to change at the proper levels like classic, but nothing shoots from hands.
