Make the damned spells MOVE is all I'm asking. If the thing just lags you have no idea where damage is being done. I can stand on the screen and have some guy use a magic spell halfway down the screen, I see nothing, yet I'm nearly killed.

The spells are all incredibly lagged.. no one sees the actual spell doing anything.. The most I have ever seen is the icestorm or whatever that has the little squares of crap spread out over the entire level.

Here's the number one best thing that can be done with a lot of the spells. Make them slow moving, non laggy, and have most spells directed to a certain area. Such as when you aim your arrow, you should be able to aim the spell to a certain spot and cast it there. I'm doing something like this with Oasis, and it's a heck of a lot better then all the spells just randomly going places or spreading over an entire level.

Yes, certain spells should spread, but things like fireball or burning hands or whatever should be aimed. The spells could be aimed at players, in which some cases, they lock on to the player like a homing missile, or they can just be aimed anywhere, even at the ground or something.
