Very few of the spells really need an actual over haul in the effect of the animation. Stone being one of them. This is most likely the first of a few fixes to this, so let's not get our panties in an uproar assuming this will be the only change. You start with quick fixes to tide things over before you jump in with complete redesigns.

But you have to admit, one of the problems with the animations in general was that they were tiny and hard to see most of the time. But I would like to see some overhauled like Provoke and Taunt, Murderous Intent, Blood Bath... But let's give this a shot before we get really ragy over it.
