Blaze Wizard's Orbital Explosion Skill Rework

Blaze Wizard's Orbital Explosion is the toggle skill where after 10 hits on a monster deals a bonus amount of damage as an explosion.

This skill in its current form is lack luster, not exciting, and most importantly does not increase the levels of fun while playing as Blaze Wizard. It also does not improve the gameplay experience of Blaze Wizard in any way.

My suggestion is to rework this toggle into something like:

Orbital Explosion:
Toggle:

While in Default and Lion Mode: Create 4 miniature fireballs that orbit each cast of Orbital Flame, each dealing their own damage when they make contact with a monster, dealing significantly more damage to Normal Monsters. Orbital Flame's MP Cost is increased while active.

While in Fox Mode: Create 4 miniature fireballs that follow in a line behind each cast of Orbital Flame, each dealing their own damage when they make contact with a monster. Orbital Flame's MP Cost is increased while active.

Each of these miniature fireballs counts as their own direct attacking skill, which will help in stacking up Savage Flame, which is very needed while bossing because this process is very long and difficult to do when there is only one monster present. This is very common in most boss rooms.

The other part that this helps with having 4 miniature fireballs circling Orbital Flame will also function as a bigger hitbox on the fireballs while mobbing which is a pain point a lot of players have with Blaze Wizard since the fireballs are so small. I do find a lot of enjoyment and appeal with having Orbital Flame being a small size, and any bigger will take away fun aspects to the job. This will make for a good solution to keeping the fireballs the same size and fulfill a bigger skill hitbox for mobbing to ease the process of hitting Normal Monsters.

If Fox/Lion Mode is not active then if the toggle is on, it will function like you are in Lion Mode. Which means when you get the skill it only gives the Lion Mode version until Fox Mode is unlocked.
