Electric Focus v2.0

Introduction

This spell is basically a recode of Builder_Bob's Electric Focus and shares the same functionality almost.​

Description of Spell

The hero will begin focusing electricity infront of himself, electrocuting any enemy unit that gets in the electricity's way; dealing damage. The electricity is directed towards the hero's gaze, so turning around will redirect the angle the lightning focuses on. While focusing, attack and movement is disabled.

Lasts until mana is depleted.​

[BlackRose]

Yay! I know

[del]And oh god, something seems to have messed up stuff in the post. I shall fix later.[/del] And it should be "Don't modify" or something along the lines of that @_@.

Edit: Fixed.

5 updates in 7 hours?

There's a lot of <, > and friends in the code...

 

[BlackRose]

What is this? I'm seeming to have omitted the update dates. Well, I actually uploaded this ages back at The Hiveworkshop, and got some feedback there, so no, not 5 updates in 7 hours

Hm. Me dunno. But fixed now.
