gems can now trigger abilities. so fan of knives does 1 damage to all and places 3 🪄magic🪄 dagger gems onto the board. matching through them causes 2 damage a pop. this is quite cost effective but takes two turns and randomly flinging gems onto the board can be bad.
this also means enemies can put other stuff on your board as a fun prank (right now they can create useless jammers and that's it).
so, the cast sequence was already a bit of a mess but this is really the cherry on the cake. even when you know what's happening it's hard to follow. at some point there will hopefully be more ability feedback than just a number appearing, but there's no saying introducing explosions is going to make things clearer.
(to be a little bit fair the trails are missing particles because unity recorder does not like emit over time particles. but it is, nevertheless, sludge)
