Introduction
This is just a small nitpick from me but right now leap looks odd for solid magics since it’s a sphere explosion instead of a shockwave to signify the user stepping on it. Gonna be a short suggestion since it’s just a small change.

Suggestion 1 - Change The Default Type For Leap To Shockwave
This explosion type on leap would look better for solid magic since it would look more like a stepping stone for the magic user to leap.

For a visual effect example:

Compared to this:

Shockwave just looks a whole lot better and cleaner for leap explosion VFX on solid magic.

Suggestion 2 - Add Explosion Types For Leap
This is a better suggestion since genuinely some magic leap would look good with pillar and shockwave, this shouldn’t take more than a day since all you would need to do is reuse explosion’s customization types.

Only this bar would be reused for leap:

Along with the customization types:

End Notes
These are simple changes and I prefer the second suggestion since it gives better options for the “rule of cool” that people would look from in a game about magic. Overall I genuinely think that some leap explosion VFX should be changed as some of the magic looks very weird with the sphere explosion VFX.

i could see this as a customization option but why not change it to pillar but just have the pillar end below your feet?

giving shape options to leap spells :zany_face:

This’ll be nice.

make it pillar instead

You are missing out, It would be better if it’s a pillar explosion and if it’s timed to kind of lift you into the air

kind of like sprouting a tree to raise you up instead of a “leap”

Yeah thought of that too which is why I added the second suggestion to overall make it as a customization rather than being forced to only have one type of leap explosion.

yaall should look at world of magic if yall want pillar leaps

Yeah uhh this suggestion can get closed now, we apparently do have pillar leap just that it’s only at high tiers.
