That's our Special FX feature and it's currently only available to Mentors, Jordan. You can upgrade your account with a subscription if you want to use it in your own games. It's still pretty experimental and as such it isn't available to everyone yet.

Riley, I haven't tried it in a while, but I believe the /fx chat command works for any account level. It only does the equivalent of a single click (as opposed to a sustained burn by holding down the mouse button), and it only works centered over the selected token (rather than at the mouse position), and you need to know the names of the effects, but I recall trying it on a test account where it worked. That was some time ago (shortly after the FX system release), however.
thank you guys i will be one when i get the money
