¶ Spells Sound System
The four phases of spell casting (when it comes to sounds) are “prepare”, “loop”, “cast”, “impact”.
Prepare and Loop go together, as they are played prior to the spell being cast.
Cast is when the spell actually happens.
Impact is when the spell makes contact with the target (ally, enemy, ground, object, etc)
