Hello everyone!

I've been recently working on a simple (or so I thought at the time) ability, which would upgrade itself 3 times. I managed to create the spell and three versions of it, but somehow it's all wrong - it's supposed to apply various penalties to the enemies around the caster, but it refuses to work (the range is borked, for an instance). I'm also unsure if it actually does what I wanted it to do. Could anyone lend me a hand with it?

The spell is in the attachement, I'd really appreciate it if someone took a look at it.

There's no attachment that I could see...

PS Found it. Exactly what you want to do about range? Only affect enemies close enough to caster? If yes, you need a projectile.

Ah, I will try it then. Thanks. Is everything else okay though?

Edit: I changed the spell form to "projectile" but still no cigar :/

You need to fill the projectile field with something, probably 149 (which is INAREANP) - vanilla Jester's projectile. Also all effects need to change target from 5 (non-party) to 2 (pre-target).

That did the trick, I think :) Thanks! By the way, is there a way to add "feedback" to it? Since it's hard to tell if it actually worked...


Attaching the updated version.

Also, how would I add a sound effect to it (external) ?

EDIT : One more thing: which 3D effect would you use for that spell?

Okay, I've managed to get both the sound and icon to work. Thanks everyone!
