Icon for deep dwarves with mirror damage

I'm currently on floor 20 of a Ziggurat, and it's a deep dwarf level, which means that I can't use my normal approach of barbequeing everything in sight in a rain of fire storms. Fine, I put up a wall of horrible things and wait, but that takes quite a while. So in order to try to speed up the process, every turn I check whether I can safely put down a fire storm somewhere yet, which gets tedious quickly because you have to mouseover every one of them and there's quite a few of the cheating little buggers:

I'd therefor like to request putting a small icon (similar to the heart for friendly creatures and the weapon with the red outline for animated weapons) on the ones that have this ability up. That way, you can tell at a glance which ones are safe to nuke and which ones aren't.

An icon for that would be nice to have. Someone needs to make one, though.

I'm moving this to the contributions forum, since that's where all the talk about tiles happen.

What format does the tile need to be in? PNG? How big?

I think it could be a bit smaller...

Re: Icon for deep dwarves with mirror damage

I think it looks fine, though a bit cryptic if you don't check out what the hell it means. (Which you will, so that doesn't matter.)

It's an icon that signals that these buggers will reflect a lot of the damage you do to them right back at you. I think that's reason enough to have it visible.

Re: Icon for deep dwarves with mirror damage

What about a light blue circle or oval, with a vague gold trim ala a magical mirror? No existing symbol is a circle.

Re: Icon for deep dwarves with mirror damage

We could re-color the existing reflection icon?

I recently added an icon for glowing (corona) that just happens to be blue circle.

A red backlight or similar might also work.
