Wow, I like the video. This is a cool idea.

I agree.

If you do post it let us know, I'll be interested.

Ok so I am finished with the spell file.
Spell Effects:
Enchanter mez line is using new effects
Shaman curse line uses a cool skull effect I found on accident
All bard songs except replenishment and damage use new effects
Lightning and blade spells use new effects

All the rest are classic effects.
Also leaving pure melee alone

Now I am sure it isn't 100% perfect as I havent played every class extensively but it looks correct.

I tested the file using both UF and Titanium clients and everything worked perfectly.
I also want to say that I only changed the particle effects so this file can be used to play on any server that isnt using a custom spells_us.txt file.
If you are using UF and own Titanium I highly recommend copying the spellsnew.eff and spellsnew.edd files from Titanium to UF directory as the Titanium files are closer to classic feel on some spells.

Please backup your spells_us.txt before using just in case you decide you want the new effects again.

Anyway,
Have fun everyone.

Looks very nice. What is the UI that's in the videos?
