Magic circle placement on Ultimate Arts is kind of bland, and I want to try and improve it.
Common Spells
Blast
The classic, five magic circles. Four small ones surrounding one big one. I think this would work fine, as they’re both simple.
Explosion
Three large ones, as it is. This also works well for a simple spell.
Leap
This one should be similar to Blast, but all the extra circles are equidistant and angled slightly upwards.
Beam
There should be three additional magic circles closing it in, making it look sort of like a gun barrel. A quick jolt of energy is what a gun is, after all. I’m unsure on this one, so feel free to chime in if you have any better ideas.
Snare
One large magic circle with two others on the outside, as if it’s a claw trying to grab the enemy. Additionally, there is a magic circle on the enemy’s back holding them in place. (the main magic circle is transparent for visibility of the caster)
Aura
The magic circle under the user while casting should be larger and there should be a circle on the user’s back as well, even when active and not just casting.
Rare Spells
Cannon
I think that the extra magic circles should orbit around the blast, like in the gif above.
Javelin
In addition to the backhand circle, there should also be three extra circles at various points of the spear.
Pulsar
This was hard to settle on a design for, but I eventually came up with this. The many little circles represents the many explosions of the pulsar. The number could be changed by the tickrate, with a lower tickrate having more circles.
Surge
Similar to leap’s, but angled out. I made them similar because they’re both a raw eject of magic in a direction. They could be more or less angled based on the spread % of the surge, with a more tightly coiled surge having tighter circles.
Hasta
Similar to Javelin’s, but since the spear isn’t being thrown but jabbed, there’s extra magic circles near the back to show force. Additionally, the back magic circle could be larger and spew the magic as a way to show the propulsion.
(also there could be 2 extra side magic circles for the initial leap)
Barrage
Divine Shower from Arcane Adventures. Need I say more?
Array
Instead of having one magic circle in front of the caster for all of the blasts, each blast should get its own magic circle, be it behind or below the blast. Also, the caster should get a circle on their back when casting because it would look cool.
Nebula
While casting and active, there should be a magic circle above the caster’s head, representing the increased power of each explosion.
Lost Spells
Enchantment
The caster should have multiple large magic circles above their head, and each affected ally should have a smaller magic circle above their shoulder.
Reasons why this should be added
I think this should be added because it would:
A. Add more variety (most ults are just the blast circle config)
B. Look cool
C. Add more personality to the game (since almost everything is a blast shape-wise, they all look the same when casted)
