Magic is one of my favorite routines. It is also very powerful. To get a good fairy dust settings shoud be as follows. 1 particles around 2000 2 initial spread shoud be low. This allow particle to spurt from a point (2) 3 Spread rate about 3 or 4 4 gravity at about 2 5 influence at about 75% 6 start and end (set to the length you need) 7 life = 30 8 variation at 10 9 chaos set low This will give great results with magic4.axp using a small box Color depends on the map you are using. Using wild gradients will give you cool effects. Magic has best results when combined with a glow or hilite rountines, especially when used with "Lenzfx" from Digimation, using Starlite. Tips. for Magic torches use magic with a negative gravity. This cause particles to go up . For Explosions use several Magic boxes with varying start frames. Make one box at "startframe" 1 endframe 3 then use another box next to it start 2 end 5 make sure Initial velocity is high and spread rate is high. I hope this makes sense to you.
