Stylized Magic VFX for Unity

I’m developing a Unity game and want every spell my characters cast—even when they’re simply breathing between attacks—to feel visceral and alive. Your mission is to craft stylized, performance-friendly VFX that cover two key moments: the instant a character unleashes a magic ability and the subtle idle aura that lingers when nothing is happening.

The look I’m after is unmistakably stylized: vivid fire and flame motifs mixed with mystical, arcane energies. Think embers swirling around a staff, fiery rings that flare out on impact, or a soft magical glow that pulses while the hero waits for the next move. Shaders, particle systems, flipbooks—whatever technique you prefer—are all fair game so long as the final prefabs slot cleanly into Unity’s built-in render pipeline and run smoothly on mid-tier hardware.

Deliverables I need from you:
• Prefab-based VFX for at least three magic-casting actions (e.g., cast start, projectile, impact) and one looping idle aura
• All custom shaders, textures, and particle settings with clear naming conventions
• A sample Unity scene showing each effect in action, wired to simple key triggers
• Performance budget proof: frame-time capture or profiler screenshot demonstrating stable performance at 60 fps on an average desktop build
