-- **Round floating slots** — the square boxes are gone; icons float in a
-  subtle shadow-rim frame, with round hover/pressed states everywhere.
-- **Time traffic light** — the outer ring drains with the totem's remaining
-  lifetime and shifts green → yellow → orange → red.
-- **Pulse ring** — a thin element-colored inner arc fills toward the next
-  pulse and resets when it fires, animated per frame.
-- **Server-accurate pulse timing** — intervals and first-tick behavior from
-  TurtleWoW server data (Tremor pulses every **4s** and immediately on
-  placement; Magma and the water totems first pulse one interval in). Water
-  totems re-anchor on the real observed mana/heal ticks.
-- **Pulse waves & glow** — a ripple in the element color marks each pulse; a
-  halo builds just before it.
-- **Bar layouts** — 1×6, 2×3 (elements as a 2×2 block) or 3×2.
-- **Custom art set** — element glyphs for empty slots, drop-set icon, minimap
-  glyph, skinned options panel. All generated by scripts in `tools/`.
+- **Destroyed totems are detected.** A totem killed before its timer ran out used to keep
+  counting down; now the death line (and, with SuperWoW/nampower, the cast and death events)
+  clears its countdown, ring, pulse and range tint. Live retest still pending.
+- **No phantom countdown on a cast refused for mana.** The Clearcasting exemption never
+  applied to totems and had silently disabled the mana gate.
+- **A refused Totemic Recall keeps your timers.** Only the Recall that actually went out clears
+  them; a press the server rejects restores what it had cleared.
