Range On Wiz Stop Time Spell

[Steelpoint]

I was observing, and testing, a few rounds and I noticed that the Stop Time ability has a weird issue.

The animation for the ability implies it'll freeze anyone in a 3x3 area, essentially anyone next to the wizard. As the sprite only covers a 3x3 area.

Yet the ability actually seems to be a 4x4 ability, which looks wrong when you see the ability to be activated yet someone is clearly standing in a empty tile but is frozen in time, it looks awkward.

I would suggest either extending the sprite to cover the full area of effect, or to limit the ability to only cover the sprites distance.

Extend the sprite and also make everything in time stop radius have its color inverted for the duration.

[Steelpoint]

Good idea on the colour change, or at least some animation to clearly discern if someone's being affected by the spell.

Color thing is a good idea I'll do that

yeah color overlays were fuuucked up
like i would do the spell, but everything the spell touched would just go black and invisible, and if you moved anything out from under the darkness it would be negative-colored forever
pretty busted

Did you just reverse anything negatized under the spell when it ended or did you track everything that goes to the mirror world in a list and positize them through that?

idk
