The cast always worked (click a square), but nothing guided it and
nothing marked its arrival. Now: a targeting prompt, eligibility
dimming to the caster's sighted squares (the engine demands LOS to the
aim point), and a flourish — the aiming mark, a shadow gathering, the
die crashing down out of a clear sky with a bounce and flung grit, a
drift line when fate moves it, and every scattered token streaking to
where it lands. In the /?fx gallery as die-drop.

Scoped to everything since the last pass (3308850). Three blind
reviews, every finding verified before touching anything.
Confirmed and fixed: two identical comment-splitting insertions left
doc comments orphaned from their fields (net and local alike); a
51-line CSS fossil of the pre-extraction inline effects survived in
Board.svelte; the rev-13 miss-roll test asserted tautologies while
its comment claimed a check the code never made — it now proves the
die was consumed, and the skeleton is no longer returned as trollId;
the sprite registry's `as never` silently disabled the completeness
its annotation advertised (now a mapped type, one cast at the
dispatch seam); a dead ternary guarded a union that doesn't exist;
Bolt carried a duplicate .fork rule from a color iteration; fxTtl
contradicted three sprites' real animation lengths; the permanence
sentinel was reinvented as a magic 9000 (the engine now exports
isPermanentDuration); CELL was declared thrice (fx.ts now imports
it); App and Replay ran two divergent fx schedulers (one scheduleFx
now, cancellable — stale flourishes can no longer fire after leaving
a game); TokenArt retried missing files forever; the anti-anti
escape guards merge with the gate asymmetry explained; wall-of-fire's
rev-12 carve-out is marked; overLimit ignored a displayed BRAINSTONE
(bots over-discarded by two); botRemark's header mis-stated its own
branches; deliverGold fired on any drop, not a home-base delivery;
escape and win banter never fired from the steps that carry them.
Rejected: "as a human would" (house voice); FxGallery's dev-harness
framing (trimmed one plea, kept the facts).

Projectiles flew cell-center to cell-center, launching from the
caster's feet and landing under the target's chin — tokens sit high
in their squares and fan sideways when crowded. Every travelling
effect (fireball, waterbolt, bolt, streak, and the reflection's
return flight) now resolves token anchors that mirror the board's
exact positioning, fan-out included: caster's center to target's
center, wizard or creature. Spots with no token to aim at fall back
to sensible cell points, and wash/knockback streaks end on the
carried wizard wherever they fanned to.

The effects move out of Board.svelte into src/fx-sprites/ — one
component per flourish, markup and animation CSS together, so editing
the fireball means opening Fireball.svelte and nothing else. A
registry (index.ts) maps kind to sprite; Board renders through it.
The event mapping stays in fx.ts.
And a viewer: /?fx opens the Flourish Workshop — every sprite on a
labeled parchment tile, replaying on a 2.2-second beat. Under the dev
server, editing any sprite file hot-reloads the gallery mid-loop.
