This bundle is marked as recommended. It works and satisfies the submission rules.
Another one for you guys, pretty simple this time, looks aren't amazing - but much better than the screenshot would lead you to believe (really hard to get a decent one for this spell)
This one is stronger the bigger the group of enemies you use it on - so its primary purpose is to tip battles in your favour when the enemy have more units
Arcane energies smite nearby enemies
Level 1 - 50 Damage 15 Bonus per charge
Level 2 - 75 Damage, 20 Bonus per charge
Level 3 - 100 Damage 25 Bonus per charge
- Heavily configurable
- No target spell
- Effects (who doesn't like flashy effects?)
- Useful
-=V1.00=-

You rate a spell based on the number of triggers it has?

me, I'd reduce rating when it has so many triggers but can be shrunk to a few...
I don't see the part here that says about how it is stronger when there are more enemies...
-->
Arcane energies smite nearby enemies
Level 1 - 50 Damage 15 Bonus per charge
Level 2 - 75 Damage, 20 Bonus per charge
Level 3 - 100 Damage 25 Bonus per charge
unless Charge is related to enemy count...

mhmm I notice, though the efficiency of such I shall have to quickly work out before I make a change
Edit: Yeah doing it, was wondering why I had it seperate in the first place - which was something I have long deleted from when I was just starting on it, One moment

Well you were right, -kind of- I still need the event to remove my effect dummies (otherwise some effects simply would not appear if they were removed in the loop without causing much more processing) in eihercase I've moved it -almost- entirely into the loop
