English term or phrase: arcane action
Definition from What Games Are:
An arcane action is one which is brittle, unnatural or requires an unfair leap of perception on the part of the player. Arcane actions are sometimes intentional as part of a design for expert players, but mostly a result of bad design or a lack of outside user testing.

Example sentence(s):
  • You get the Spirits and Arcane action going and it's a powerful strategy that offers great late-game inevitability while keeping you alive long enough to get there. Magic: The Gathering
  • Despite showering narrative and audio-visual madness on the player at every turn, Portal 2 keeps its list of mechanics pleasingly simple and expertly telegraphed to avoid any arcane actions. Debug Mode
  • Thanks to a new archiving system created by SGI and the NBA, the league will soon be able to retrieve, edit and transmit on request even the most arcane action sequences since the recording of games began. The Globe and Mail
