  1. A color change would help a lot. Maybe adding some deeper oranges with light reds could help.

  2. Maybe some longer flames stretching off to the back would make it more convincing.

And also, could you explain me more what do you mean with “longer flames stretching off to the back”? Like changing this property: image ?

I don’t know if squash will do anything, but you know how fire has long and thin parts raising upwards? Try to add that.

Added a “ColorCorrection” effect.

I think it looks better without the flares (I think that’s how it’s called).

For a magic fireball that’s supposed to be moving through the air in any direction, I think this is the best iteration so far:

You can try adding a slight hint of grey smoke behind the fire to give it some depth.

You should and some orangish red flames inside it. It will make it hotter.

That looks excellent. I like the coloring and the not too overwhelming flames.
