    "animation": "more_rpg_classes:two_handed_ground_release",
    "sound": {
      "id": "more_rpg_classes:frost_crackle_long",
      "volume": 1.0
    },
    "particles": [
      {
        "particle_id": "more_rpg_classes:freezing_snowflake",
        "count": 50,
        "speed": 0.3
      }
    ]
  },

        "count": 30
      }
    ]
  }
}

Layering Effects: Combine multiple particle types and sounds at different stages (cast, travel, impact) to create rich, multi-layered spell effects.

School Theming: Use consistent particle and sound themes for each spell school to create visual identity (frost = snowflakes + ice sounds, earth = stone particles + rumbling).

Particle Registration

All particles are registered in MoreParticles.java:46-78:

public static void register(){
    Registry.register(Registries.PARTICLE_TYPE, 
        Identifier.of(MRPGCMod.MOD_ID, "blood_drop"), BLOOD_DROP);
    Registry.register(Registries.PARTICLE_TYPE, 
        Identifier.of(MRPGCMod.MOD_ID, "freezing_snowflake"), FREEZING_SNOWFLAKE);
    // ... 30+ particles registered
}

All visual effects are client-side rendered and automatically synchronized. Server-side spell logic triggers the client renderers through the Spell Engine framework.
