I think the original Life infusion effect was somewhat better. No blue and someting else i can't remember ;p like maybe different movement near the ground.
I never liked Strength effect.
One would expect that magic causes some visual effects uppon casting and something uppon releasing and these effects somewhat fall under the same physical or other laws. Same laws which rule the life in Yliakum, how the trees grow, the wind blow and everything else. So, magic is normal part of the world.
But what the heck makes that spell to generate a fancy image of fist(s) above the casters head? :o Why the heck does the spell does that. It doesn't make much sense with the above. Maybe the caster wants that symbol to appear? But why does he want that if it is in his own interest that the enemy doesn't know what spell is going to be used against him?
If you fixed that, Caarrie, that would be a mod! A MOD! ';D
