Spell cast sequence VFX, updated pass. Preview at 720p.

What is new in this pass

• The air bends softly around the spell, and a faint ripple spreads from his chest where it sinks in.
• A small ember sits on his shirt at the point the spell enters, visible in the wide shots too.
• On his close ups the smoke is now one ribbon winding into his chest, with a clearer thread drawn back out toward the dagger.
• The veins climb to his jaw and the colour drains further from his face toward the end.
• The smoke stays on the dagger in every shot.
