I have seen some errors in my first posted spell pack so i have decided to replace it with a new one. It has the absolutely same abilities except the modified gyro coil which now snaps at 800+ range and added some nicer effects to it too.
I have tested all my spells on the following configuration:
Pentium IV Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz
Memory 512 Mb
Graphic Card Nvidia FX440!

And the spells were without any slow until i checked Particle Effects - High, Spell detail - high.
Basicaly if you can play Dota you can use this spells, cause when i play Dota if i don't put spell detail - minimum and particle effect - low it lags.
So here it is:

I haven't got the time to test your spell pack on that config, but for all you to know that is my second computer i use for spell testing, i have my better computer reserved for games :)

so my short review of kingz spells:

All in all i think they are realy unique and well done in gui, i must say, i prefer timers and not turning a interval trigger on and off... the "ultimate" is a funny spell, but in some situation its realy weird, because you only deal 1 time damage towards a random point, the aoe spells are a bit overloaded of effects but ok^^

to my own spells i only can say... i'm not rly sure if they fit the theme, but that is another thing^^

good luck kingz .P

All i can say about your spells is:
1.The idea of using charges is good
2.The pull spell is already seen,and not too original
3.The passive spell is as simple as anyone can make
4.The ultimate spell is just unoriginal,shooting balls of eletricity at an area?
5.Most of your spells just operate on simple integers
6.It almost has nothing to do with technology(but still has some)

Also been busy during last days of the challenge end date didn't had time to update my map(added an burn effect to ultimate spell),but what done is done.
What did you mean weird? You can't choose the angle of light refraction in normal life either, it does it on it's own be it in all directions or in only one it's all the matter of conditions.
Good luck to you too xD.Schurke.

I preferred Schurke's submission, because Kingz's was unpolished and looked horrible. I liked the charge concept (not really original, but I still liked it, a bit). I had fun with the magnetic impulse spell. I hated the "You have not enough Eletrical Charges!" messages, though. Gotta find a way to add those in, in a nice looking way.

Anyway, +1 to Schurke.

Well good critics,this is my first challenge and i begun to make spells about 3 months ago(i mean custom triggered that is) so this is unpolished a bit and the only thing that it isn't good is cuz i didn't had time to update my spells(had some school tests and i live in a difrent time zone - *hive time - 3 hours* and rotating school shift).
But still it's good to learn from mistakes,may the best spells win.
