Metroidvania Tutorial Series - Ep. 14 | Heal Spell (Restorative!) | Let's Make A Metroidvania in Unity!

🩹 Time to bring some life back into combat! In this Unity 6 tutorial, we’ll add a Healing Spell — a shimmering burst of restorative magic that restores your Player’s health and lights up the battlefield with soothing VFX 🌿✨ This episode focuses on support magic — teaching your spell system to heal instead of harm. We’ll take advantage of our new ScriptableObject-based Spell System (SpellSO) to make healing modular, reusable, and easy to expand for future spells. We’ll cover: 💚 Creating a healing spell that restores the Player’s HP 🧠 Using ScriptableObjects to define spell data cleanly and flexibly 💫 Spawning beautiful healing VFX that glow and pulse with energy By the end, you’ll have a fully functional Healing Spell that plugs right into your existing spellcasting system — ready to expand into buffs, shields, or regeneration effects. Next time, we’ll keep building on this foundation by adding a hotbar for spell selection. 🔗 Assets Used (Free for Commercial Use!)
