You know the spells that just have continuous animation ,I mean like when you cast it it just appears there , Ice storm was the far best Ive ever seen in the spells, but can Firestorm be like that? instead of the same fire blaze just sizzling...

There is no such spell called 'firestorm'.

maybe he means burning hands?

Im sorry, burning hands =D actually for the burning hands instead of fire just appearing how about you stick both your hands out and its sort of like a flame thrower,I've seen other games with burning hands it was sort of like this.

Burning Hands used to be just fire blocks (such as the one the spell 'firebolt' produces) and it would get bigger as it left you so I would say it has evolved a bit. I wish some spells would have better GFX though, burning hands is alright but it can be improved. I would also like to see small lightning improved, the aim is way off and it's annoying aiming right at a monster and totally missing it, I'd imagine you casting it then lightning rains down in the direction you are facing as you cast the spell, that would look amazing with the right GFX.

The same goes for Magic Missile...... the Magic is that the Missile never ever ever goes in anything like a straight line.

And since you can't predict how it will go........ the spell REALLY needs to be fixed.

As of maybe a month ago, at least. It takes one mana, fires a crappy blue gif/png in what is apparently a random direction and goes in anything that is NOT a straight line. If you keep firing without moving, it will follow the same path each time, but if you move or change direction, all bets are off.

I suffered through that just long enough to level up so I could cast icestorm. Even used it in a dungeon a little bit (fired about 2 dozen Missiles, hit a target about 2 or 3 times. By luck).

Magic Missles don't go in straight lines they are more or less fellow the person who is closest in front of it

Less. MUCH less. They just don't aim at all.
