Summary0004307: Difficult to see Fireball's point of impact
DescriptionFireball currently works as a medium-speed projectile with a single point of impact, but because it's just a mass of particles, it's very difficult to gauge its point of impact. This becomes troublesome not only as an offensive player-cast spell, but the same spell effect seems to be used by robot snipers and it makes dodging it very difficult.

It's the front center of the mass; there's not much more I can do with that, as I am not keen to make it shoot a literal projectile ala meteor or similar.

But it IS a literal projectile, is it not? And named Fireball?

It's a ball of particles, sure. You pretty much want to avoid the entire ball. The same thing goes with the amoeba shots and similar. I don't see how this makes them harder to avoid, personally -- you know that you may have a little bit of wiggle room where the edge of the particles don't get you, but mainly just stay away from the whole mass.
