I really enjoy Ghostwire: Tokyo and Skyrim magic hands, so I made something similar in Unreal Engine 5 and new Niagara particle system. Niagara is so powerful, it just mind blowing! Be sure to check dynamic papers reacting to spells. It would be impossible to make in Cascade. Now it's time to finally switch to Niagara?
