What's inside

7 elements: fire, ice, storm, arcane, holy, shadow, poison

8 spells in each:

• bolt: a projectile to fly at the target (loops)
• impact: where it hits
• cast: power gathering into an orb, then a release
• nova: a ring bursting outward
• pillar: an eruption from the ground, or a strike from the sky
• area: a pool on the ground, seen at an angle (loops)
• aura: wrapped around a character's feet and body (loops)

• rune: a magic circle seen from above (loops)

• 16 to 32 frames each, drawn for their fps, and the loops loop seamlessly.

• Transparent PNG sheets, 8 frames a row, plus an effects.json with every frame size, frame count, fps and anchor, and a GIF preview of each.
• Godot 4 player included: SpellFX.spawn(self, "fire_impact", pos), and SpellFX.fly(self, "ice", from, to) sends a bolt that bursts where it lands. With a demo: pick an element and a spell, click to cast it.
• Import steps for Unity and GameMaker in the README.

In 3D: Magic Circles 3D puts magic circles, pillars of light, vortices, wards and mist on the ground of a Godot 4 3D scene, in six elements (12 free).
