Wow! Thanks! I didn't expect as much enthusiasm. I guess I'm just being
overly-critical, or you're just being too nice ;) I do agree with your opinion
on stop motion animation, though it's a lot harder to do post-production
animation, while stop-motion is much more time-consuming.

Easy to change, I'll have to play with it.

Harder to change. In order for it to be a round object with a transparent
background, I have to have the image of the spell be in .gif format. I have
yet to figure out how to do a blurr effect with mixing transparent pixels with
images yet in Flash, or effectively in Photoshop, while keeping the transparent
pixels transparent (as a .gif. .jpg images cannot, to my knowledge, have
transparent pixels).

Uhh.... hmm.... Well, I guess I could even further devote my life to my website
;) In all seriousness I've thought about it. As for wether or not I actually
do it, I haven't made up my mind. It'd be neat, but very hard and time
consuming to do. Beleive me, I've thought long and hard about it. If I did
create an animated story chapter, It'd most likely be in the form of a comic
strip, with animated cells.

And thanks for the wonderful feedback!
