The weight of a hit
Clearer spell impacts, sharper lightning and a more deliberate sweep for melee attacks.
Spell launches now have a short pulse. Fire, ice, poison, soul, holy, arcane and lightning impacts use different shapes, so an element is easier to recognize when a spell connects.
Lightning has a bright center, short branches and a quick, steady fade. Melee strokes accelerate through their sweep, with a shorter trail and a clearer leading edge. Blade, dagger, claw and holy attacks keep their own shapes.
These effects follow the existing attacks. Damage, reach, cooldowns and enemy positions stay the same. Reduced-motion mode uses quieter, stable shapes, with no branching lightning or expanding impact accents.
