Thanks for pointing that out! It should be working now.

The one thing I've noticed that's a little off is the Flash of Light particles. I could have sworn that the particles that radiate outward on that type of spell were on a horizontal plane instead of vertical... anyone else remember this? Or am I just bass ackwards?

In either case, this work is A++, outstanding!

It did have both. The head and feet eventually shared the same effect. so there should be one vertical at the head for lvl 1 and two horizontal at the head and feet at 24 and one more vertical from the feet at 39. The newer version on the forums does this, but the one in game right now is missing the horizontal one at the feet because there was a 4th effect of larger particles that flashed around the caster. I've since seen the classic animation without that effect so I swapped it out for the additional foot particles and I think it looks much better now. The beginning sound effect is also changed to what it was in classic. Try the version in the first post. They're also centered perfectly so spinning around will look better.

Hadn't logged in more than a couple times in the past ~4 months, but just applied these and VERY excited to log back in and run around casting. Thanks again, SO very much, Telin for your tirelessly dedicated and supremely amazing work that allows us to all benefit a significant bit than we would otherwise. I adore the effort, especially when you logged into R99 to specifically troubleshoot errors i was having. Thank you again. You are a class act, sir and the community owes you a huge debt and VERY large thank you.

Be safe, be nice, be fun...

Centered lightning effect on ground and enhanced the classic red "blast" effect. Also touched up some particle sizes and densities.

In response to a question about the lightning hand particles, classic had a smaller line of sprites going upward from the hands starting at level 24. I can't get this added yet due to the limit of 4 effects. 2 for the hands and 1 for the surrounding sprites at level 39. I could do 1 hand, but that may look bad. I may be able to "split" the current effect to go in both directions, but they would both be going the same distance :-/

Got to witness the new effects in-game for the first time just now. I have to say, that's some damn fine work right there.
