How do you combine many small(32x32) attacks to make one big combined spell(like 96x96)? Which way would be the most effective and give the best results if you wanted the attack to explode on impact and deal aoe damage?

I don't think big atoms are really necessary here. Unless the spells create something like a huge boulder and collision detection for the entire thing is necessary, you can probably just get away with displaying a single large icon for the projectile and using a collision heuristic.
As far as AoE and whatnot goes, range(), view(), and oview() work fine depending on what you need for the AoE. If you want to use a circular AoE rather than a square, you just need to do a pythagorean distance check against the AoE radius. | |
Search about Shadowdarke's Big Atom Library.
Use the View and Oview procs which can be read about in the reference.
