Comments: 
The Bladestorm effect. After seeing someone who used Razors version it added a whopping 179kb extra to a map=bad idea. So I offered another version which is 100% optimised etc. Used the Blademaster as base, I cut and removed the unnecesary geosets, bones, animations, materialId's, materials,helpers, particles and emitters and was able to crank the file up into 16,9 kb (this means reduced with 10).

There are two versions now; one with swords and one without. The one with swords has the FirePandaBrewmaster's sword, the one without is the original. 

People who are experienced in mapping and adding special spell effects should know how to apply this to the bladestorm spell effect, so I will not go through that one.

How to use:                                
Just direct the model path to this model and its done. 
Just use Import Manager in TFT and import in the map (remember the import 
model bug, you need to save and reload map in order to see the model). The 
paths for the skin and model are above. Just import, doubleclick on the 
file and alter the path to the above ones. Thats all folks!

Notes:
If you find any bugs or problems or glitches of the model please report this.
We will work on it as soon as possible to bring a updated version out.
* = Wildcard. That means that all textures should use that path.

And as always, give credit where it is due before using this in a map/campaign/etc.
Do NOT post this on other sites with exception on WC3C. Ask permission first if you want to have this model for download.
