#characterart showing the key differences between "young" Lina Inverse (right) and adult Lina (left)...adult Lina has upgraded her tunic...it's fancier and draws more attention to her bust, running gag about her being flat-chested (when she's a respectable C at least) aside. #Slayers #LinaInverse It's also interesting that in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ at least the #DragonSlave incantation is different between these versions, too.
Pure #Headcanon but I think #Lina Inverse would make a great #mentor for #Megumin ( #Konosuba )... "c'mon Kid, let's go fuck shit up." #explosion Lina was the OG "explosion chick" #dragonslave  
As much as I like #Konosuba 's #Megumin , #LinaInverse is the original "explosion" chick. #Dragonslave #Slayers

@Germanunkol I think you could get big wins by considering the animation principles of "anticipation" and "slow in slow out". So for your example, I would:
1. Add a charging effect before the orb is fired.
2. Accelerate the orb as it moves towards the target.
3. Add a lingering effect after the orb hits.

Look at how much of the work to sell this spell's power happens before/after it is in flight.
