Photic Sweep is one of the abilities of the WISP that the player controls. It's a great crowd-control (CC) ability and can help slow things down to help towers gain more time to damage enemies heading towards the CORE.

The game development process is a dynamic one and can be challenging at times. Mistakes happen and need to be addressed. Sometimes, those mistakes lead to hilarious and/or frightening results. It's all part of the process.
