Look at the intro cinematic to LoD. It's purple because that's what Baal's spell looks like.
Really O.o ?
It looks like orange/golden with black smoke for me... just like his fire nova and that mana burning inferno-like spell.
Really, i would like to see palid white as the basic color of the arcane spells. Actually some arcane spells are allready white (teleport, slow time, wave of force, some part of the orb), so i guess tone down the purple in the magic missile and remove the freaking senseless jelly would be nice.
About desintegrate, show it in a fire like it's actually good imo - it helps to bring varietion into the arcane tree. But it really needs more polishment - but i diseagree with the arcing stuff. It is some kind of dimensional/temporal/spacial rift right? So the speed it travels is very fast, almos instant.. thats why it appears from nowehere, moves really fast, then disappear.
Medieval fantasy never had a spell like this because this concept is quite new i guess - at least i never saw a spell like it.
Of course, it needs to look more viceral, dangerous, but the basic intent is fine for me.
In other words, the media and the entertainment in the world decide for us how everything that we cannot see in real life looks like. For an example, magic.
yep..I'm the type of person not to make my life revolve around these things, like a rabbi, or a priest (I won't dedicate my life to religion, or finding aliens) but I am open to it, and lean about 51% religion (mostly because my heritage)
I'm not close minded, to think that things are impossible, I believe that anything is possible if taken the right way..
I didn't completely catch the purpose of the wall of text, seeing as I skimmed it. but it's about believing that sanctuary is real?? or that objects you can't see are imaginary, but are real..

I won't say LIKE sanctuary because thats mest up..
But I believe that seeing some type of world filled with creatures we've never seen. Or creatures that are similar to us, but work differently because their planet evolved them differently..
Also, a creature is just a creature becasue we've never seen it before. If you've seen those fish on the ocean floor (on tv) they look like they came out of a greek myth..mostly because I never saw one.
I've always imagined it like the movie "knowing" which was weird, lol. But the Aliens are similar to humans, but different because they lived differently.. It could also be a world filled with, for instance, dinosaur like creatures, it is always possible...

I do not believe in a infinite universe, I believe in the curved universe but sure, Sanctuary might exist, but not as Blizzard pictures it but there might be a planet, somewhere, with people that has named their planet "Sanctuary". But if it is exacly like the diablo Sanctuary, I'll bring my computer and hack their planet! I will drive it into the sun :thumbsup:
lol, I was about to say that, unless blizzard is as good as we think and aliens made contact with them, and blizz made a story of their lives...Than wtf is the chance that out of all the billions of planets, in which we haven't found any signs of life, there would be a world that has demons fighting against heaven, and prime evils...
wtf..

So, it is never to late, On Topic: what should happen with the disintegrate spell when it meets a too big body to penetrate? Should it just continue trough, ricochet?, lose power or become stopped completely. Perhaps it pushes the target back. Personally I would like the spell to become partially stopped, like waves that meets rocks, when it hits targets, so if half of the spell covers a target, then it is only the other half that continues on with half the damage. And when all of the beam covers a enemy, then it should push them back. But bigger enemies should have enough weight to resist the pushback. I think this would create a better effect of massive energy flowing as a concentrated beam than having it work like a giant heat element that burns everything it touches and passes through everything.
I imagine the spell to be imba when you want to clear a room of destructibles Just turn it on for 2 seconds (the mana cost is probably shit high since it can harm so many at once) and swipe the entire room.
I like that, if you shoot it at diablo, it will shove him very little. (I can imagine that the multistrike rune will make it go through everyone till the end of the screen (unless its like that, I haven't seen the trailer for a while)

Not exactly, technology is science, science is reality. Magic is imaginary and can't be compared to something that actually exists...
And we compare them based on that they look and act the same as for example laserbeams. If the magic formed a flower shape, wouldn't we comment that it looked like a flower and want it to be changed to something cooler.
But we should remember that lasers are invisible. They travel in one direction and can therefore only be seen by someone that is looking straight into the source that must be loooking straight at the viewer. Atleast that is the case with infrared. So the whole concept of "it looks like a laserbeam" is taken straight from fiction.
Yes, magic is imaginary in our world, but not in the Diablo universe. It's very much a common natural phenomena and therefore no different from science.
Yes, perhaps I should say their magic is analogous to our science.
However, I don't like that you said our science is uninteresting. That is truly the remark of an oblivious individual. A good place to start is A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. You may find yourself inspired.
Make the ability have a travel time, dont make it instantly hit shit.
Make it look more like you are channeling arcane energy, instead of shooting a lazer gun.
I liked the idea of tearing space/time or whatever and how it would ass-fuck the molecules of said monster.
(Get a mental picture of a black lightning bolt/beam with yellow/white smaller bolts coming off of it in a random fashion [relating to its position].
Also liked the idea of it ricochetting off things.
The current animation just looks like a instant-hit fireblast.

Airandius some valid points except making it purple would make it look straight outa DBZ or perhaps Teletubbies.
lewl, im sure that was a repeat comment as well. RAWR IRONY!

Not that Bioshock was original in its concepts, but it was cool to see how the hand changed with different powers.
