DescriptionIn the example picture, I'm standing on the side ladder of a miniboss room and firing toward the miniboss with Energy Pulse 1 with my mouse in the middle of the window at about miniboss-waist height. I click to fire, and the energy pulse goes off at my feet.

Thanks for the save and report!

It actually wasn't the platforms, it was the wall that was to your back. But it's fixed now. :)

* Fixed up the way that spells are fired from the player so that if the spell is wider than the player, it starts out offsetted in front of them. This is important when the character's back is to a wall, for instance, because then the spell won't collide with the wall.

This is resolved.

BUT!

It still has a problem: If I'm facing the wall and firing behind me (via the mouse or TAB targeting, though I don't use TAB targeting), the spell still ends by hitting the wall. If you're shooting behind you, the spell collision box should probably start behind you.

Perhaps a review of the spell start box locations should be carried out, with an eye to starting the spell box in an appropriate place given the direction the spell is being cast as well as which way you're facing?

Confirmed. I actually ran into this during a boss fight last night.
