Where you hear it

fireballimpacta.ogg is the burst of flame heard when Fireball lands. Fireball is one of the first spells every mage learns, so the sound follows the class from level one. The game has three impact variants, a, b and c, and rotates between them so repeated casts do not sound mechanical. The whoosh of the projectile in flight is a separate file. This impact is the satisfying crunch at the end of the cast.

TriggerPlays when a mage's Fireball strikes its target.
