What is with you people and /commands? If I wanted to make a game using mods like this, Id want it to be as immersive as possible. /commands like breaking the 4th wall kills immersion and is not a fun feature. Breaking concentration to type something out in a /command is stupid. Seems this isnt supposed to be a useful addition to RPGs or DMs then?
All you people care about is if it works slightly..
/commands are one thing I HATE in mods because NOBODY goes past it.
Worst option happens to be the easiest and everybody seems to use it.
You people wouldn't know a good mod if it slapped you in the goddamn face.
Make your crappy /command magic wand. Have fun with your lopsided candy bar in your magician RPs.

It's not for RPs, it's for balance. It doesn't break immersion for 2 reasons:
1. It's not even a /command, you press a key and type in chat.
2. It's like you're saying the incantation, so it seems more immersive to me. Besides, you can always repeat the last spell with T and then up.
3. For frequently used spells, you can always bind them to left/right/alarm/etc. as an equivalent to nonverbal spells.

Key Binding would require a client side, which means players would have to download it for easy use. Bad idea.
And any form of typing in combat is distracting. What other (good) game has you type while in combat? None.
Please don't.

Not if you use existing binds, like light, alarm, hate, love, sit, and the two mouse clicks.

Find a better way to balance it and still have to know the spells and have a kind of equivalent of "saying" it.

As if I had a choice - the programmer gets the final say.
Mr.Noßody:
How many categories of spells and how many spells for each category?
