As much as I know its not that easy to get black FX's and they are quite depending on the engine. And most probably the FX for leveling heroes up hasnt changed from the original game and no one cared enough to change it for evil heroes (I dont even notice those level ups as a FX anymore, I just see a "Level up, pay attention now"- sign ^^)
Thanks man.
I was just curious about this in general.
Didn't I solve your doubts (some of them, at least), Crag? 
Yes, I too imagined that it was a joke.
But, maybe I got it wrongly, I think that Adamin subtly wanted to express his support for the current system, given that Dark Galadriel is theoretically 'evil' and accordingly levels up how the other evil heroes do.
Those were just conceptual aspects from Twilight to answer your question.
Apart from them, I don't know, though, if my Adamin-related speculations are right 
Maybe in minor way. But I really didn't see that as technical reason.
I think this was vanila game bug, so those Twiligh things were completely irrelevant in some thought of mine. But I wasn't sure about that, so I posted this here, it is maybe more general thing concerning animation, so I presumed that here I will get some quick techical answer.
Well, since this is the "Ask the Edain Team" Thread and not a Suggestion Thread, I thought this was also meant as a bit of a joke. Why isn't it used? I guess the Original Developers did it that way and noone ever noticed before you, honestly.
As to what we could do: I'd say it's relatively low on our priority list.
As much as I know its not that easy to get black FX's and they are quite depending on the engine.
Yes. Since FX Particles are mainly Light Effects and there is no Black colored Light it's hard to get this effect. We could use something like a dust/smoke effect maybe, or just color the sparkly particles red/orange.
Sincerely, Adamin, if you take a look on my first comment correlated to this matter, I wasn't suggesting anything. I was just curious, and I have posted some pictures so you guys can better understand what I wanted to ask. So I really don't know why you considered it as joke.
So, I presumed it is trivial thing on which I can get the fastest answer here. If I really wanted to suggest change or improvement of animation, I would posted this in some topic of Suggestion board.
I am not so "responsible" for
development of rest of conversation.
Concerning particles of other color, this was also mainly question not suggestion, because I had on my mind situation with Galadriel's gifts. There we have same animation which is green, and particles have color theme in correlation of green color, so I presumed there exists same combination with this red animation. That's all.
I don't know how I noticed that, it was just random reaction while playing game, I presume I have eye for details.
About dark particles, that was just random thought.
If there exists possibility of adding some colored particles maybe you can add them in some future, again, I am aware this is not so important thing as you have said, and probably no one pays attention to it, except me.
But also in my opinion it is matter of some "balance" between animations. I really don't see reason why evil animation shouldn't have those particles. And this is also matter of graphical settings in game, so person who isn't playing game of Ultra High or High graphical settings, won't see particles anyway.
P.S. And again, if developers left that evil leveling animation without particles, question is was that bug in vanila game from that graphical aspect?
Again, I mainly wanted to get some information with these posts, not to suggest something in general.
