in-game fx question

[herodad1]

the beam (fx subterrestrial down to earth),what is it doing?is it hitting with a boulder or wrapping the target in earth/rock?

whatever you want it to do? ^^

To me, it looks like a beam of dirt and rock that's used to "encase" the target. In game, it's used to increase density which fits, more or less, with the encasing scenario.
