How can I get my spell animation to start from the caster and fire at a targeted enemy?

Complete noob at animations here. I'm trying to figure out the functionality for a fun little spell I came up with called Blazing Bunnies. It is supposed to fire three flaming bunnies that run from the caster to random enemies on the battle screen and explode.

Problem is, from what I can tell, spell animations functionality seems to be limited to an "overlay" without any way to position the spell other than it just runs over the target. I need the bunnies to run at angles, based on locations of targets on the screen, with a start point of the caster.

Halp!

What you're looking for is a projectile. The RMMV animation system doesn't have anything that can be considered a projectile by default, but there are a couple of plugins that add that in.

Olivia's Action Sequence Impact Plugin [Paid] adds in projectiles, as well as a bunch of other things you might not want, and costs a few dollars to boot.

This plugin by TRB is the one I used for projectiles in my project, it takes a bit to set up, though. It has the advantage that is doesn't cost money though.

Looks like exactly what I'm looking for!

I'll probably grab Olivia's plugin, based on the fact that I can read that one...
