    Lightbulb Spell Idea: When you are selected on a spell - make it flash.

    I think it would be nice to have some sort of notification that you are selected on a spell. Obviously, you are normally meaning to have a spell selected however I have noticed on my iPad Air 2 that when I am playing there are times that I click the screen rather hard and it still does not select a troop from the troop bar while attacking. When this happens and I still have my spell active; I will typically only waste 1 spell but sometimes I will waste all of them. This will mean the difference between winning or losing in almost any case. I think one of two things would greatly help this problem or possibly even both.

    Option 1: Spells are DOUBLE CLICKED to deploy. eg: double-tap the screen over your hog riders to drop 1 heal spell. This could possibly be confusing making dropping troops different than spells; however with any new thing it can be adjusted to with practice. I think this would be the best fix for this since it would give the user a split second to realize they are selected on a spell instead of a troop. eg: I dropped a heal spell in the middle to keep my hogs alive now I attempted to click on my wizards but the screen didn't recognize it, so I attempt to drop a wizard in 2 different places. Since I did not click the same place twice the spell does not deploy and now I know I am not selected on my wizards but instead I am still selected on my heal spell. Maybe even a quick screen corner flash or a small notification popup that states "Failed to deploy" or "Click same place twice to deploy spells" or something when the user does not click the same area twice.

    or

    Option 2: Have the corners of the entire screen or the spell icon itself on the troop bar flash either white/red/green notifying the player that they are selected on a spell rather than troops. This would greatly help in reducing wasted spells as the player would have something to lookout for when switching between spells and troops.

    Never had this problem, I think you should adjust to your iPad and learn how hard to press to select stuff.

    Oh trust me, it's been a very common issue. I have seen it thousands of times in wars, battles against me and my teammates and hear about it in chats. I myself do not have the issue as much because I have learned to double check my selected spell/troop before clicking after deploying a spell; however I run a war clan and I see 2-stars or 1-star attacks all to often because either someone on my team or the opponent team drops a rage or a heal or sometimes wastes all rage/heal spells off in the corner somewhere. I have not seen the issue lately so it is highly likely that Supercell did fix the issue or maybe because we're a level 6 clan we've gained enough exp. to know better. Either way, I think the flashing corners would be a good idea to prevent accidental spell drops.
