Most notably seen in the Illusiat series, I would like to know the sequence of characters needed to create such fluid TI-BASIC animations on the calculator. Just look at a couple screenshots to know what I'm talking about.

For fire, I usually just cycle through VvWw, for Ice I cycle through a zero, theta symbol, O and sometimes L. I mostly use a For( loop and Sub( command and repeat this For loop several times. For lightning, I usually have a bolt go down from the top of the screen cycling through "7Z><}{" or stuff like that, while on the ground there's stuff like "X8*". For Holy, there are 3 characters in the CATALOG for Stats Plots functions. One is a dot, another is a 3x3 empty square and the other is a 3x3 plus symbol. I generally cycle through the dot, then the square, then the lowercase letter "o", then square again, dot, square, o, square, dot and so on.

I'd reccommend trying stuff untill you get something awesome.  A lot of graphics stuff is trial and error.
Good luck with you animations.
