Long Spell Animations Reduced/Changed

Can the animation of the spell Ra be changed or shortened? It is an obnoxiously long animation so I avoid using it for farming even though Ra is more powerful than Nova. I would love to see the ray from Ra's key, just zap through all 4 opponents like a "spacebeam laser" that carves a plasma line in the ground. Also could Frost Giant's stun animation blow on "all opponents in a row" instead of him blowing on each opponent individually? Then stun shields can show up afterwards. The same could be said of Storm Lord. Can spells have different animations and players can select which animation they want to see e.g. a short or long animation? Or spells have multiple animations and it's random which animation appears when casted? Anyway, I just want some long spells to be shortened in order for them to be more practical to farm with.

As an ice wizard I totally agree. Frost giant ( and Ra ) needs to be shortened.

Forest Lord needs to be shorten too.

Ever since the Khrullu fix, we've been asking for them to go back and do it to ALL AoE spells to shorten them up. There is a crazy amount of time spent in the game slowing us down. Spells being shortened is only ONE thing I have an issue with in the tempo of the game. I won't hijack the thread with the others though :)

Wait Khrullu used to be a one at a time thing? Wow that must have taken forever.

My main Wizards are / (both Max level, though I do play the others schools as I can) and all I can say is that Forest Lord needs it more. That takes forever....

Helpful Tip for Balance Wizards: Just sing to yourself as you cast Ra: "Ra Ra ooh la laaa, Ga Ga ooh, ma maaa" It makes it more fun and increases the immersion. I do! Haha

yup, and absolutely! It would get summoned, rise out of the water, hit the first, drop down, turn around and rise from the water, feed you the health, drop down and turn around, hit the second enemy, drop down and turn around, then feed you the health, etc. We all BEGGED them to fix it, and we have the version we have now. Look on youtube for the spell and you should find the original animation for it. If they did a minor update, and updated ALL of the AoE spells' animation, they'd get a LOT of cheers (and yes, boos too) from players.

LOL, That's an idea. Sing a song about your spells, add a little humor and there you go.
