Actually it's probably just one rotating fire/smoke thingy, fading from yellow to red to black, and pretty clever use of a particle system (i like the "flamethrower kicking in"-explosion effect right at the beginning)
the hardest part is coming up with the idea... (which we dont have to anymore. is there copyright stuff on particle effect usage? ^_^)

Just wait till you see the bosses! I can really recommend the game, but make sure you got enough friends with GBAs since single player on this one is only mediocre (by Zelda standards).

Can't in be played online with a GBA-emulator?

the overworld is gc-based and shared for all players, if a player enters a dungeon he gets it displayed on his individual gba. so you'd need a gc emu with both gc-to-gba-linkage and netplay.
well-working gc emu's out there: 0 (a few promising ones though), gba emus w/ netplay: 1 (an inofficial, dirty hack version. also, your inet connection's probably -way- slower than the gba cable throughput).
thus you're better of borrowing/renting the equipment (doesnt take too long, too - i finished it in like 4 days).

but enough of this already - thread's title is "Magic spells graphics", let's get back to that.
