This is a set of spell icons

I am continuing to work on more but I thought I'd post this lot to get ideas on what you lot think,

I have included some that i have already uploaded I think but I could remember which I had uploaded before

hopefully they are useful

If you like them or make use of them I'd love to hear,

also I am open to criticism and improvements

Thanks, Scribe

Man, they look pretty good. Here goes my criticism (though I am not an artist):

combine.jpg: pretty good but I would make the energy ball less regular. If you scale down to icon scale, it looks just like a soft sphere.
fire arrows, shadow spell: very good!
ice shards: very good, but two variations would be cool like for the fire arrows you could just do some with less shards.
thorns, revive2: add more color depth, shading, gradient or however it's called! compared to the fire arrows, for example, they look totally flat. Even at icon scale.
final_rev: very good, except for the heart I wouldn't leave it that flat, I'd make it more "round"
lighting sword is still WIP, right?
fire/ice sword: look better than lighting sword, but something gives me an "unfinished" impression, dunno what. Sorry if this one isn't a helpful critique :/
for most of them it would be really cool if you could make 3 variations of each which look each more powerful (for levels).

All in all, I like them a lot, but most would need just a little finishing touch.

Looks great. But here is some advise:

Lightning Sword: Use a dark background.
Ice sword: Same. Also consider making the ice transparent
Shadow spell: Maybe adding orbs in the hands.
Preview: Use a compilation of all pictures.

Could you just link it to PNG file? I cant download binary files nor ZIP files.

Thanks for all the ideas for improvement, I will try using some of the tips given by wokste and Pompei2 and hopefully make a more complete and professional set :)

Anonymous, I made the download as a zip file because there are a lot there but I shall put the main ones up as PNG downloads when I am back at my main computer (at the moment I'm on holiday :D)
