A good example is the one in Allods wherein there were daily races from a specific perod of time in a day and the wiiners gets a very good rare item.

But the animation is so subtle that it takes the fun out of playing a mage type character.

The Sith Sorcerer AOE couterpart skill Death Fiels has a cooler animation wherein the ground breaks and purple light spreads out. The Force in Balance is just like a huge Wind and it's disappointing. I wish they consider adding some animation effects.
