WIP: Demon style enemy from ABYSS X ZERO I'm getting comfortable coding enemies with a huge movement pool. Bro got so many moves!!! It's hard to find a balance between too simple and too overwhelming when it comes to how many moves a boss or enemy has!

One of the many spells the player will have at their disposal... Tornado! This ability draws enemies in and makes it difficult for them to move.
