Summary0007456: Cleft Smoglet needs buffing in some way.
DescriptionThis isn't a suggestion because I don't really have any specific ideas for buffing it.

The theoretical benefits of Cleft Smoglet do not out weigh not being able to aim it.

I say theoretical because the odds of you having an enemy behind you are pretty slim, as you have most likely killed them on your way in, and further than that it has to be on the same level as something you are trying to kill.

Now I don't want to take away the locked firing angle, nor do I want to remove the backwards firing being it's main benefit, they are what make it interesting to play with, but were I making rational decisions rather than using spells for the fun of it there is no way I would pick it.

I think it needs an on hit effect of some form, basically a reward for actually hitting something with it, something that specifically benefits people using the spell in some way....maybe making flying enemies fall to ground level?

Cleft smoglet is purple's answer to other non aimable spells such as ring of fire;
...If ring of fire only shot 2 bolts and didn't hit background entities and sucked

Cleft Smoglet should shoot ONE shot in the direction you aim (low damage), than then splits into 2 shots (medium damage) traveling opposite directions after a meter or two. It would still be a smoglet, and it would still be cleft.

I think it's important to note that for a fair few characters this is your basic long range entropy attack, if you can't cast Creeping Death it is this or Clinging Fetor.

Yeah I suggest the short term solution would be to double the damage
