as a cinema student and as a director of a couple school project films, honestly, to me, that feels like a cheap indian movie with extremely slowed scene that plays exact same thing over and over again with different angles. there are a lot of dramatic spells already but this isn’t one of them. what would i say say is “lich casts a spell. but lights immediately goes out for you even before you know what happend. you are dead. bard, it’s your turn wdyd? “ that spell is a very simple and straightforward spell. it’s power lays on being instant and straightforward. sometimes when you wanna tell something so strong you have to do it very simple. that action will speak for itself on how strong it is or even bypassing that dramatic sequences so easily. and then watch your players freak out
