Eric's fireball lands as the house style — layered construction,
gradient core, glow halo, a directional tail riding rotate="auto" —
with its defs scoped per instance via $props.id(), so simultaneous
fireballs cannot steal each other's gradients. The rest of the
catalog is rebuilt in its image: the waterbolt becomes its cold
sibling (spray tail, no turbulence — one heavy filter stack is
enough); lightning grows a glowing core and branching forks; the
burst blooms through a fire gradient with a shockwave and flying
embers; the splash throws a crown of droplets; the shield raises a
gradient dome with a rim strike; the pow star flashes white and
radiates speed dashes; claws leave tapered gashes; the absorbed card
spirals in along a pull ring; the soul is a proper little ghost with
eyes, swaying as it rises; fireworks ride colored trails; Chaos
catches card slips in its vortex; the pit opens a gradient hole that
swallows a faller; ooze splats and flings blobs; the thornbush sheds
leaves; slime closes over and pops bubbles; masonry dust goes soft
with falling grit. Whiff, tacks, portal, and the sector ghosts keep
their simpler forms on purpose — restraint is part of the style.
