Spirit Scorpions V1.10

This spell is relatively far-fetched (as I knew in it's creation) about 80% of it was made as a challenge and was made intentionally to not make much sense, but I liked how it turned out and thought I might as well share it with you guys The spell functions by randomly throwing eggs into the target area which hatch into small scorpions which will chase down (via burrowing and unburrowing) enemies within their searching radius and when getting close enough will lay a curse on them which briefly after adminitered will freeze them in place leaving them helpless to defend themselves. Furthermore the Scorpions will then find additional targets near their new location if any more do present themselves. This spell is a continuation of my little obsession with summoning-spells, I hope you appreciate that /everything/ about this spell is triggered, including the movement/attacking of Scorpions, the damage, the curse, the egg flying arc, their dispersing blah blah etc. There's minimal object data Learn: Throws a volley of spiritual Scorpion eggs randomly onto the target area, the scorpions then hatch and chase down nearby enemies and lay a curse upon them which will deal damage as well as freeze them temporarily. Level 1 - 8 Eggs, 75 damage, 6 second stun, 1 hit, 250 search range Level 2 - 10 Eggs, 100 damage, 8 second stun, 2 hits, 300 search range Level 3 - 12 Eggs, 125 damage, 10 second stun, 3 hits, 350 search range -

Review

Several changes have been made.
The spell looks nice.
You could add each stage's if/then/else under the else of the main one, since it would save some engine's searches.

Subbing & don't forget credits =3

Edit: I do make use of the "greater than 30" however it's on a double-edged sword (considering it's to save doing two checks when below 30, but meaning three checks are done when it's above) I'll just make the modification in a second, as for the repetitive loads (i.e. load 8 and 10) I feel it'd take an uneccessarily long time to make the modifications required to do that, considering wouldn't that require setting up an entire indexing system just to index those? or am I thinking of the wrong idea?

Edit2: Configurability issues? Clarify please, I'm really not sure /what/ the configurability issue would be

Use Integer variables or whatever the values of those loads are and set Var1 = (Load 10 of X from Y_Table). This is what I mean.

Configurability means that you have certain calculations or paths that are not friendly to a user who wants to alter the way the spells looks. You may want to create a variable for that specific calculation of the loop and use that exact variable to loop through. It won't make an efficiency difference, but it will improve readability along with configurability, just like I mentioned.
