✨ Visual Overhaul

New Bespoke Shaders — The Mani Wheel no longer shares the generic scan-line shader with other towers. Three new shaders give it a unique Tibetan Buddhist identity:

  • Cinnabar Hood & Base — Vibrant red cinnabar with patina noise and warm blood-orange fresnel rim. Glows brighter when enemies are in range.

  • Golden Tibetan Script — Pixelated block-glyph characters scroll around the prayer wheel body, emitting a warm golden glow. Characters feature stems, crossbars, descender hooks, and vowel marks — procedurally generated to evoke OM MANI PADME HUM.

  • Inner Divot — Deep charcoal gap between the hood and text band creates visual depth.

🔮 Prayer Barrier AoE

Orbiting Text Cylinder — The old flat orange range circle has been replaced with a standing cylinder of orbiting Tibetan prayer text at the tower's range boundary.

  • Text scrolls around the circumference like a protective mantra barrier

  • Dual-layer parallax creates depth illusion — front text bright, back text dim

  • Fresnel shading makes front-facing text glow, side-turning text recede

  • Soft edge fade at top and bottom for a floating, ethereal look

  • Scales automatically with range buffs

👁️ Per-Enemy Slow VFX

Mini Prayer Barrier on Slowed Enemies — When an enemy enters the Mani Wheel's range and receives the slow debuff, a small golden prayer text cylinder wraps around them.

  • Fades in smoothly when slow first applies

  • Persists while the enemy remains slowed

  • Fades out gracefully when the slow decays

  • Debuff animation now plays once on first application, not every tick (no more animation spam)

  • Old slow ticker icon removed — the prayer barrier IS the indicator
