Ah, true, but the point is that I perceive it to be much harder to cast a perfect circle with half a hundred blades, than an even covering of a great area, as the spell suggests. Instead, it's a nice concentric ring quite obviously surrounding my mage's designated target, which looks fairly ridiculous with the Blade Wind spell in particular.

I still believe there's something pretty odd with the "missing" algorithm. It currently looks like something like: "If (precision smaller than specific number) and (range greater than another specific number) then set minimum distance for scattering around target to a third specific numer". Which doesn't make much sense to simulate scatternig.... It's not as obvious with arrows, or with other mass projectile spells, like flying shards. Just Bladweind seems to suffer from that, I guess an additional scatter routine seems to miss...
