Just spreading love to other towns🥰 Whiteruns quite empty since the last video, how sad.

WIP spell(s)...
This is not at all how I envisioned the spell to be. It was supposed to be a single attack spell with a massive aoe and plumes of smoke lingering, like one hit taking out everyone in Whiterun and the entire town becomes a crater and smoke, but for these reasons I did not go through with that:
1) This game engine doesn't like big effects. They don't render properly or at all if they're too big and/or when outside of drawn/loaded cells.
2) It's not easy to make a massive explosion look good from inside/within while also looking good from outside.
3) I already made Singularity, Astral Strike, and the likes. They are all aimed spell, so this time I want to do something different.

For the art direction of this, I tried to differentiate this from my previous "cosmic" stuff. My previous mods were all like purple and pink and blue it's getting stale, so this time I added Chromatic Abberation and using this almost anime/comics-style artstyle for the gradients to make normally grey smoke and other visuals stand out in a new unique way.
