    Title: [Effects] Excessive effect and risk for seizures
    Reproduction Rate:100%
    Blocker?
    Details: Attempting to compile every single spell effect that is a seizure risk, or simply has excessive graphics.
    High risk spells are potentially very disorienting on their own, however with a party of 8 players the low risk spells could also cause issues. All spells are tested with Bloom and Camera Effects disabled.

    High Risk Spells: (Higher priority)
    Daemon, Phoenix, Water Elemental (Attack spell) - Flashy ranged spell
    Offhand Attack, Break Weapon - Spell effect flashes on the screen
    Fireball - Screen shaking and bright flash
    Fire Ring - Screen shaking
    Fire Arrow, Searing Ray, Fiery Decay, Stone Arrow, Stone Fist - Bright flash
    Discharge - Strobe light then flash
    Chain Lightning, Lightning - Flash
    Blind, Fireflies - Flash

    Low Risk Spells: (Lower priority)
    All summon spells (Skeleton, phoenix, air elemental, dirinium, water elemental, ice elemental, earth elemental, daemon, skeleton mage, etc) - The glyph flickers at the end of the summon (The spray effect)
    Skeleton Mage (Attack spell) - Mildly flashy
    Earth elemental, Ice elemental - Busy attack effect
    Phoenix (Animation), Reveal Hidden, Dazzling Ray, Enlightenment, Healing Grace, Blink - Busy light effect
    Nightvision - Flicker at the end
    Purify Burst, Healing Burst - Spell effect is a bit sudden
    Purify - High pitch sound
    Banish Undead, Shield of Air, Elysian Illumination - Busy

    Annoying Spells: (Not flashy but do impair vision)
    Healing Rain, Cleansing Rain - Blocks Vision

    Steps to Reproduce: Cast the spells.
