From SphereWiki
Usage
EFFECT type, item_id, speed, loop, explode, colour(hue), rendermode
Description
Type is a number 0-3 from the table below Item_id is the base id (under 4000) of the item or animation(first id of the animation loop usually) used for the effect Speed is a number determining the speed of the animation and the travel speed if it's a projectile, with 1 being the slowest and higher numbers being faster Loop specifies the time the animation will play, 16 is a good default. (This is NOT frames of animation, as a high speed results in more frames per given loop setting) Explode is a boolean defining whether the projectile should make an explosion animation when reaching the character

| 3 | Character-based effect | This effect will follow the character as he moves, the way a flamestrike does when the spell is cast. The bottom of the effect is somewhere around the character's knees. | ||||||||||||||||||
