If it were "Eats, Shoots and Leaves", I'd be with you.  But somehow the '&' makes the lack of a ',' A.O.k.

P.S. I feel a twinge of guilt that I've gone so far off-topic.  Not quite enough for me to stop...but almost.

I don't really feel too bad about it.

Ah... aw... shucks.  Alright.

I want to make a themed "pack" of spells.  Something that people can download and will have a set of spells that follow some .. theme.  The obvious example would be packs that cover the different elements.  So yes, of course, fire, water, air, earth.  I wouldn't know how to create the visual effects (yet) but that would be part of the deal.

Other themes might be taken from the concept of spell schools, as in D&D, including:

Alteration, Illusion, Enchantment, Divination, Conjuration, Invocation, Necromancy, Abjuration

Can't really create an analogue of most D&D type spells in Elemental, since the game scope is different (e.g., Magic Missle wouldn't amount to much of an impact on a game like Elemental that focuses more on strategic level actions.. I think.   Have to see how things roll first.

The video?  I saw a pic of some hoodlum getting all happy about a couple of plastic cup lids and the fact that he spilled toothpicks all over the table.  Pretty sure the wait-staff at that liquid lunch was upset.

Anyway, yeah, "Particle Engine (and corresponding in-game Particle Editor)" goes a long way (all the way) to making custom visuals for custom spell effects a done deal.  Thanks for the link.
