“Does this spell affect gameplay?”
After testing it in-game through mods, this spells does not affect gameplay. Despite changing an element of the game so closely tied to gameplay, we tried to maintain the muzzle-flash appearance through the gold, and no teamcoloring has been affected.

“Does this spell affect performance?”
This spell, as well as most spells, do not hurt your frames. This is simply a particle swap, changing out the default particles with new ones. A spell like “Footprints” used to impact performance in the past, due to it introducing new particle entities each step, but a muzzle flash spell does not.

“How would Valve add this into the game?”
That is entirely up to Valve’s prerogative, we workshoppers do not control how an item is implemented. This spell is aimed to work year round, rather than only be constrained to Scream Fortress. It could be obtained through Mann vs. Machine, unboxing, contract rewards, a free gift, who knows!
