What are your favorite spell animations?

For some time, my favorite has been the Storm spell Leviathan. I love the head peaking up from the water to check your location, and they swaying back and forth before the strike. Far from the most elaborate of the animations, but I find it to be very effective.

Second would be Deer Knight and its cousin Reindeer Knight. Creepy, those creatures striding out of the woods.

I must give strong honorable mentions to (1) any spells where snowmen are abused - that running joke really amuses me (inspired by Calvin and Hobbes cartoons, perhaps?), and (2) animations that start out looking like one spell, and then shift in an amusing way - the von Katzenstein monster grabbing the vampire bat after it leaves the coffin and using it to smack the target is one example.

There's also Catch of the Day where the Kraken throws a Storm Shark at the enemy.

Triton.

The first time I saw this spell was the first time I got to Celestia, and I'd never played a Storm before (well, not to that level anyway), and my initial reaction was "Uh oh, what's this?" (That was the reaction after I got hit with it too, LOL). But the spell animation is beautiful. With the water floating up the way it does. It's a really cool spell.

I also like Reindeer Knight. It just brings a smile to your face to see the trees decorated.

The animation on Triton is nicely done, Halimeda.

Catch of the Day is fun, stevp. There is also the one where the Stormzilla overbalances and falls over.
