    Nothing so fancy.  Matter of fact, we are kinda boring in that regard I
guess.

    DM: "What do you do?"
    Tim: "I'll cast a Fire Darts spell at full EL."
    DM: "Ok."

    See?  Told you.  ;-)  On occasion a battle will be so damned exciting
someone might let out a "WHOO-HOO!  Take that you evil bastard!"  Does that
count?  ;-)

    From a character perspective, I think we all assume something along the
lines of standing ralatively still, waving arcane hand jestures while
reciting mystical incantations.  Maybe tossing around some 'material
component' if the player feels particularly inspired at the time.
