Effect Edit Links and Deposit Thread

[CONMAN]

Spell Effect Edits or Custom spells are few and far between, but they can add a lot of spice to a mod.  Just like trying to find the right sprite, actually locating them can be quite a hassle.  Hence, this thread is intended to link to older effect edits and to be a place to post new ones for others to use.  We have a lot of old effects that have some issues, but still possess some merit. I'm trying to avoid links to threads with a singular effect.

If interested in making your own effects, you should start with Xifanie's Tutorial.  While updated tools have come along over the years, this is still tried and true:

For posting new effects, I would advise against simple recolors where words would be sufficient, using .png's because they are for reference purposes and noting if an effect is differed in anyway beyond image/palette ie sound effect, camera focus, where the particles animate etc.

Here are the current effects used in Souls of Destiny.  Not counting a bunch I just stole!!!

Apocalypse is a recolored red/purple Holy in the style of dark holy and with the dark holy sound effect added.

Alexander uses Ifrit as the base.

Judgement Bolt is Adrammelk on the Ramuh Sheet

I recolored Valkirst's Terra Summon

"Forsaken" was my attempt to make Melt look a little like Kefka's spell effect.  Didn't get very close, but it's interesting.

Gold Marsil is a recolor of Celdia's Marsil for Legend of Mana.  Really Swords replacement on Meteorain

"Spirit Bomb" is just a blue version of flame attack

"Light of Judgement" is a gold recolor of Circle. It has a laugh effect and all particles focus on target instead of caster

OmegaFlare is a red version of Giga Flare with electricity focused on the target as opposed to the caster

Zalera/Pain is the Zalera death effect that shows damage

This is cool! Thank's Conman!

Here's another one I'll add to this thread: Tornado Sand Storm

spoiler: "Sand Storm"

Here is a couple more edited effects.  The butterfly was my best attempt to copy the work of such an effect on discord that hadn't been shared (as best I know).  The wildshape spell is one that I combine with the disappear animation tabs to make a transforming effect.
