Looking for a spell FX api script

IIRC - This script allowed me to give my players access to summon spell effects into the game.  All I had to do was setup a spell page, put all the effects and sizes and that was it I believe. Then when they wanted to cast a spell, say fireball - somehow he/she was able to summon that specific effect I had set up for them.  Not sure if I was mixing 2 api scripts for this or it came from one. Spellmaster does not ring a bell at all. I may be confused or forgotten how that api worked. I am uncertain if the effect appeared for them, or I had to also create sheets / images of those spells for the players to pull into the map. But I feel very certain cone spells gave them the option if it was 1 of 2 shapes to choose from.

Not sure exactly what you are thinking of, but here   is the GitHub repo, so you can browse the titles to see if anything jogs your memory. Looks like Spellmaster is a chat-based spell sheet replacement, rather than an fx- or token-producing script. Maybe it was AreasOfEffect ? Never used it, but it sounds like what you are describing. If you don't see what you are remembering there, you may want to check out my Spawn script, as it can create one or more instances of default tokens for character sheets (which can include spell templates) with a variety of options, including standard fx (custom fx are not currently supported). My preferred method is to create a rollable table token with various spell templates and then cast them with !Spawn. I then have spell damage abilities on the spell "character" as token actions to click after spawning. There have been several revisions, so scroll through the thread for additional animated gif examples of different ways to use it. King's Summon script is another one that can do similar things with fewer options, but perhaps some other features that you might be interested in. That one has been around for several years and is well documented and tested. 
I checked the repos but nothing there. I know they have removed several APIs since I have several that are no longer listed on it. AoE doesn't ring a ball. King Summon - I thought this may have, I checked my reply history and seen i posted on a King summon thread but ended up not using it. I have a sneaky suspicion it was a summoning script, maybe one of those old wild shapes AND/OR Scenero switcher and I used it for spells, since technically, thinking about it now - I could somehow manipulate that script to work. Only difference is setting that api didnt use a spell page - which leads me to think it was some type of druid/summoning script that I repurposed. I may have to look into yours and play with it but your is fairly new. This script is at minimum 2 years old. One of my history replies has a "summoning" thread title but the page doesnt exist and I feel my answer was in there lol.

Hmm, well I'm sure one those 3 scripts I mentioned above (even if not exactly what you were doing before) will be able to give you at least a feasible solution. It'll just be a matter of reviewing them and seeing what works best for you and the effect(s) you are trying to accomplish. Have fun exploring!
