DF water-crystal-skill-vfx

Build the effects of a water and crystal skill as one visual language in Three.js. Water that reads as clear water, never a teal fill or a textured ball. A ray-marched water orb whose surface swells, rings and deforms in place: it refracts the frame behind it with an inverted horizon, has a silver rim and sharp highlights, and shows a faint caustic web on its far wall. Streams wound up from tide pools as uneven beaded ropes with silver edges, drips and shed drops. A lash that unspools from the orb, whips and pours into a pool under a torn, lopsided splash crown of aerated white water with spikes breaking into drops. Analytic ripple rings and rain on the pools. Crystals traced against their own half-space planes (Snell, Fresnel, total internal reflection, exit dispersion, Beer–Lambert, fracture discs, a white-hot root glow and a resonance band that climbs the stone), growing out of the water in a draining veil, then shattering into Voronoi shards that fall, tumble and rest with real contact on a heightfield. Caustics on the pool floor, and a moonlit tidal rock flat: rock banks traced from target images onto a world grid, flat mirror pools, a moon-glitter column of micro-facet glints, and a moon disc with maria. Use for water or ice-crystal skills, water orbs or bubbles, water whips, jets or tentacles, splash impacts, tide pools, rain, crystal growth or eruption, crystal resonance, shattering glass or quartz, caustics, wet-stone night scenes, moon reflections on water, "water and crystal", "hydro", "clear water VFX", "crystal shatter" or "skill effects only". Includes a reusable module and a five-beat demo on a scanned CC0 low-tide floor with failure-mode switches.
