I split the code into 3 smaller parts for easier understanding.
1. The Pull: The caster starts the spell and pulls (or pushes) the target 300 range away from the caster.
2. The Swing: Continues the spell with a swinging effect around the caster.
3. The Throw: Throws the target away to the direction where the swing stands. If the spell is canceled during the pull it has reduced effects.
