This has got to be the worst looking effect in DDO so far..
From top view, it looks horrendous and of course, it's because this texture is a 2 dimensional material projection. When you cast this spell, you can barely work out where it's pointing. As a fellow programmer, texturer, particle designer and 3-dimensional artist, I think it's constrained to head bone and not the torso bone which causes it to spaz out all over the place. What happened to that 3-dimensional particle effect where you can see it from all angles?
This new effect is just too lazy, so please, do improve this and don't just project a texture.
