Here you can see a magic effect in action. A little explenation of what is going on for those that are interested :
- The magic has just ended so the sphere you may have seen in other screenshots has already disappeared, but there are still some (green) particles that haven't disappeared.
- You can see that the magic hit two monsters by the hit damage that's displayed, and the impact effects (explosion-like particle effects). These impact effects show the spot where the impact was, but the monsters have already been hit back by the blow.
- The character that perfomed the magic has birds floating around his head because after attacking or using magic/items, he has to wait for a specific time (the birds get smaller and there is a time meter for this, that's not in this screenshot).
- The monster at the top has taken so much damage (previous hits in that battle) so he's dying, hence the transparant-outline-ish look.
- The lower monster has got a green-circle-effect around him, indicating that he's currently trying to perform one of his special skills (potion, first aid, fast forward, boost, etc).
Edit : the monster models are only temporary :)
