Can't think of anything for the sparkle or ring effects, but the laser should be a SwitchableDecoration, with a state that doesn't do anything. Also, in the test map (just for illustration, so the user knows about it), I'd put a switch that toggles the lasers on and off, and makes the doorways impassable.

Also, since someone else submitted three effects, I should probably get going on the Magma Ball spawner.

I also have an alternate ash spawner that's more or less the same, but more of an cinder spawner, but since it's only an alternate graphic, I'll submit it after the contest.

This is most welcomed news. Perhaps I will get some of them done in time after all.

It's feb 16, hope this still counts...

Terminator Portal is pretty awsome.
