Necrotic Spell Patterns – Top-Down Bullet Hell & Spell VFX (HD)

HD spell patterns for top-down games. Necrotic wisps in twelve ready-timed patterns: eruptions, a necrotic field, orbits, orbiting guards with a nova, homing wisps, a flower, a star, a spiral, a ring burst, wisp rain, shockwaves and a splitting shot.

Patterns

• Necrotic eruption: bursts erupt one after another round a ring about the caster
• Necrotic field: strikes going off at scattered spots in an area (seamless loop)
• Necrotic orbit 3: 3 shots orbit the caster on a perspective ellipse, far ones smaller (seamless loop)
• Necrotic orbit nova: 4 orbiting guards while an 8-shot nova bursts out every half loop (seamless loop)
• Necrotic homing: 6 shots launch to the sides and curve in on one point ahead, then hit, aimed in 8 directions
• Necrotic flower: rotating 5-petal flower: two sets of curling arms cross into petals (seamless loop)
• Necrotic star: alternating + and x bursts forming an 8-pointed star (seamless loop)
• Necrotic spiral 2 cw: 2-arm bullet spiral turning clockwise (seamless loop)
• Necrotic nova 16: 16-shot ring burst
• Necrotic rain: projectiles rain down on scattered spots in an area and burst (seamless loop)
• Necrotic pulse: three concentric shockwave rings expand on the ground from a flash
• Necrotic split: a big shot flies out, bursts and splits into an 8-shot ring, aimed in 8 directions

Each pattern is one ready-timed clip at 12 FPS. Loops (spirals, flowers, orbits, rains, fields) are seamless; the rest play once. Aimed patterns (fans, splits, homing, rings with a gap) come in all 8 directions, one row per direction; the others play the same in every direction. The pivot in each JSON is the caster or impact point, so you can place a pattern on a character or a target.

FAQ

Do they match the characters? Yes: the same HD finish, camera angle and light direction as every character pack in the series.

Can I use the shots on their own? The patterns are complete compositions; the single projectiles with their own release, flight and impact clips are in Projectile & Impact Effects.
