As many ppl may know, I dun like Rictusempra. It annoys me all te time I got hit or see a newb got hit.... But Rictusempra is a spell I like in the movies (I guess you all remember little badass Draco landing on his small skinny butt xD).
Also I remember the spell Tarantalegra, that was casted on Neville by Deatheater in HP 5. I always thought, Rictu's effect ingame has the effect of Tarantalegra in the books. But what effect should Rictu have then?
My suggestion: a push maybe like if you got hit my an explosion (pushed in the air plus fall damage). The idea suggest, that the target doesn't land on the feet, but lay on the floor like as you lay in a bed, IF it is possible to code, of course.
This would give me the motivation to cast Rictusempra and - bc it would cause damage - it would get banned from the not-damage-spells and wouldn't be casted on others to annoy and to waste their time.
Comments? Ideas to make it better? Opinion?
