Looking for a big visual spell

[north quest]

im a new player to ars nouveau playing valhelsia 6 with ars elemental. it started with messing around till i made a whitehole which got me wondering. are there any big fancy visual spells? (mainly for fun/limited utlity) please do share

I think https://discord.com/channels/743298050222587978/1393726986169614408 might fit your needs

[north quest]

oooo starbust looks fun, unfortunately i do not have the missle spell

[pastel nebula]

Oh yea forgot about that one

[north quest]

i actually saw the mine version of that spell, tried it and got dissapointed when i figured i needed missle :(

[pastel nebula]

There's also a few spells from ars.guide that might look cool

I did a review of almost every one in #1398729663127355443

first spell i put out into this server

it needs infinite glyphs i think? it can probably be compressed tho

[pastel nebula]

Op only has base and elemental

[slender jasper]

scratch that

uhh

i have some more i think hold on

[pastel nebula]

The spells dont actually have to be good just flashy

[slender jasper]

🌀

can add another after the first, results may vary

(spell isn't complete for a reason)

[north quest]

thanks for that, spent some time looking and testing the spells

[north quest]

:(

[north quest]

what spell is the cyclone?

[slender jasper]

propagate homing, as per the [erm actually](#1252888862976639068 message) thread

[north quest]

ooo thanks

so its somthing like this?

[slender jasper]

sry i meant regular homing lol

[north quest]

Currently this spell just forms a orbit around the targets and doesn't actually do anything till they collide with another entity

Is that it's intended effect?

[hazy fiber]

Try: [Homing]

[north quest]

OH RIGHT! The sensitive. I'll give it a try thanks!

[hidden cypress]

if you like explosions, do

[slender jasper]

do not do that

[slender jasper]

also suprisingly enough the original version of this spell did NOT have sensitive

but it did have as the form

also i think having one orbit is pretty important

[hazy fiber]

Maybe we were the sun all along

[north quest]

like this?

[hazy fiber]

yes

[north quest]

it seems to only proc when it touches another mob (ie zombie in this case)

i did [Homing] prop arc

it was more successful in procting the spells other then just giving the golem a cool halo

[slender jasper]

do [homing]

[willow hull]

Hmm... I did smth like this
Gonna dig

[slender jasper]

wait no

the idea was

for the wall to give you orbits

but for the wall to also give your orbits orbits

remove

[willow hull]

You can always try this:

Requires and a kindling thread

[north quest]

haha not sure what happened but my frames are now at 1fps

[slender jasper]

well

is it a big visual spell?

[north quest]

okay took awhile to load

[slender jasper]

mission accomplished

[north quest]

wait how does the orbit orbit work?

i cant get the target to activate the spells

[slender jasper]

it starts by giving you 3 orbit projectiles

it then gives each orbit projectile 3 orbit projecitles

and so on

[north quest]

isnt the orbiting orbit supposed to hit the target?

[slender jasper]

send the exact spell you're using

[hazy fiber]

Man didnt just want a flashbang?

[slender jasper]

interesting

hold on imma find my original spell

[north quest]

ive sadly found out

that this flashbang onlyu works on those with the lighting shaderpack on

[slender jasper]

originally it was [Overhead]

OH WAIT

I SEE IT

I GET IT

[hazy fiber]

If you want a more "damage" spell I'd just replace the first orbit with sensitive

[slender jasper]

fuck that it looks lame

[north quest]

unfortunately this is how it looks without

[slender jasper]

i WILL make this useful

[slender jasper]

valhelsia 6?

[hazy fiber]

Just use linger instead of wall. I think that'd look neat

[north quest]

yepppp

[slender jasper]

[slender jasper]

does also hit you but should look sick

(or they changed orbit targeting)

[hazy fiber]

Is this not just gonna put a couple orbits around you?

[pastel nebula]

It will

[north quest]

it does

but look

[slender jasper]

it should also put a couple orbits around each of the orbits.

[pastel nebula]

It's a sacrifice you should be willing to make

[slender jasper]

and so on

orbits are entities

and, at least when i made the spell, they could trigger wall

[slender jasper]

yup thats it

put some and on wall for better results

[north quest]

whats the point for the ignite flame btw

[slender jasper]

you can swap that out

for anything really

its just so it has SOME practicality

might look cool

[north quest]

okok hows this though

[hazy fiber]

[north quest]

ive been tinkering while looking for spells

[slender jasper]

that's.. something

[hazy fiber]

I'd swap out the locations of snare and freeze/coldsnap

[slender jasper]

alr fine im booting up my ars instance again

[slender jasper]

this is quite interesting

i'd love to see how it plats out in action

[north quest]

give me a second

[slender jasper]

because SO MANY THINGS need to go right for that to work reliably

[north quest]

explain pls :o

[slender jasper]

put snare before

[north quest]

as in i dont get the logic

[slender jasper]

swpping them makes no sense

snare before just helps in general

[hazy fiber]

Making snare happen early means they're more likely to get hit by the rest of the spell. Making cold snap happen later means all of the orbits hitting ppl with deal damage from cold snap (Although iframes will obvi be an issue but who cares)

[slender jasper]

without cold snap in the beginning the orbits wont trigger

[hazy fiber]

oh, I'm used to 1.20

[slender jasper]

explain?

[hazy fiber]

not used to you block shapers

[north quest]

tada

[hazy fiber]

I haven't played around with the "throngle" tech

[slender jasper]

???

[slender jasper]

it... actually works?

its beautiful

[north quest]

this spell has the additional effect of stunning my friends for around 15 seconds

[north quest]

potato computer killer

[north quest]

RIGHT

[north quest]

ohhhhh, i see. but yeah lavabunkle's issue too

[slender jasper]

its not a pc killer you just have crazy ass shaders

[north quest]

orrr that

[slender jasper]

i don't think this has anything to do with block shaping

the cold snap "blocks" are entities and are at no point actual blocks

i don't think you need a to do this

[north quest]

you dont

[hazy fiber]

Ik, thought there was some interaction between that tho. Idk like I said I haven't really used it much. I tend to use the air themed stuff bc vibes

[north quest]

also this, i love fireworks despite how bad it does in damage

[willow hull]

They are falling blocks, so they do trigger

[willow hull]

is obligatory

[willow hull]

As far as I know, created blocks and blocks turned into falling blocks do prop the

[hidden cypress]

it's really not that laggy

[north quest]

i might have broke my game
