Systems like this are quite difficult for me to explain in text.
I'd rather just show it to you. :)
Though if I wanted to sum it up in one sentence, that would be;
"This system contains spells ranging from big flashy explosions to offering freshly brewed tea to avatars."
Hope you like it! ♥

Received this as a gift and showcased it to everyone I knew! We all loved it! Fantastic job!
Greatly enjoyable spell effect HUD
Has the usual Void charm and polish for such things, although I concur with the review that suggests the HUD is a little tricky to read. One minor defect: The Summon Seat spell summons a chair that you cannot actually sit in (right click->Sit gives me a 'nowhere to sit', so a proper sit target apparently isn't showing up).
Still, I have confidence little bugs like that will be fixed given Void's history. I can't speak to how useful it is as a combat/pushy thing, but if you like magical special effects, it's a great successor to older tools like Wishmaster.
This HUD system is good but...
I've been a fan of Void HUDs for a long time. I think I have all the old and new HUDs that has released. The new HUD is quite large-scale, looks cool, the effects are great, the sounds... but this system doesn't really give anything new..? After I played with it, I got the feeling that Emu collected all the old/new HUDs and put them in one. For example RIFT HUD (but with only one theme), Armaiti nature HUD mini ver. (electricity, trees, stones), Mikuzume "blood" HUD (which I still love, but you can't buy it anymore).
I really liked:
- Darkness/black smoke abilities. Souls, manipulations and ghostly hands that return people to the same place are very fun. I was really looking forward to a separate similar HUD with a creepy mystical theme, where there would be more abilities and the ability to change the color of smoke effects (to red, for example. Changing the color of abilities to a woven color is still the best idea of the author and gives more customization for your character/avatar).
- Giving friends separate chairs, drinks and food is very cute! And it looks impressive.
- The idea with a HUD themed on astronomy and space. I think it would be cool to give this theme a solo HUD too. Void has never had anything like this. This is something new and interesting.
I didn't like:
- HUD design. The handwritten font is very cursed and hard to read. It was really easier to remember and use spells with icons.
- Guide. The specific small thin font on the pictures makes it very difficult to read (especially if your English is so-so, you can't put the information in Google Translate).
- I used to think that spells in each category had their own color. But they are scattered across different ones.
If you are new to the Void store, then I was advised to buy this HUD as a hodgepodge of other HUDs in one. The HUD is fun, I have no desire to write anything bad in my review. But I very miss the old Void vibe... Mystic that made your blood run cold.
