Could you make that have a green fire anim? That would be doubly cool.
I think so. I'm already coloring the fireballs green, so it shouldn't be much trouble. Will try and see what it looks like.
In the meantime, I found another use for the fire animation:
Campfires are the first hazard in the game. If you step on it, you are set on fire for a couple of seconds, which is enough to deplete 80% of fully healed hero. At least, until you buff your hit points. The fire does not kill you ever, but it can lower your HP to just one point and then a single enemy hit will bring you down.
Enemies try to stay away from it, but with some skill you might be able to push them into fire by a well placed sweeping attack.
P.S. unlike this .gif, the animation doesn't skip frames in the real game
