[Unusual Effect] Blessing of the Ancients & The Cursed One

Too much and too little
My initial impression of this item is that its a stellar suggestion and it certainly contributes to the game, and the Mayann theme.

Viewing the demos though, it almost seems to be a bit much. That is, the clouds are beautiful an their squarish Mayann sensibility is excellent, but the Gold, and snake idols, while seemingly required, are almost too loud/much for the effect. I would lean towards a Mayann sun/moon, but that still doesn't seem to work.

Another idea is maybe not have the idols always present, rather they would fade in or appear from the clouds at interval.

To extend the effect further, to have the clouds and rays as an Unusual Taunt effect could be very cool, and the next major craving.

These are my preliminary thoughts.

Alright, actually a good suggestion.

Thanks for the feedback NSM, I was looking at the snapshot trying to put my finger on what I didn't like about it and I realized: It's 2-D, and while it does have something of the whole Mayan vibe too it, it's too 2-D, and then it hit me, What if, instead of the snake/jaguar profile, it was a mayan temple rising out of the clouds!? Now that could work very well! and even a sickly green temply with the Green smoke effect. It could be just what this project needs!

And I just checked the recent comments and saw mention that 3-d isn't possible with the particles, blarg, either way, a 2-d temple might look more appealing that the snake profile
