The answer

The fatwa we adhere to permits playing electronic games if they are free from Sharia prohibitions; that is, they do not distract from the remembrance of Allah and obligatory duties, do not mar sound belief, do not involve gambling, music, or images of naked women, and do not lead to enmity and hatred. What you mentioned about a game that includes fantasy elements, such as shooting fire or ice from the hand, or images of strange creatures like dragons and dwarfs, is not considered magic and does not necessitate its prohibition.
