Power Effects settings?

My sister recently started playing City of Heroes with me. Her computer is not too good with quality, so I had to tone down a few settings. Problem is, the power effects look like garbage. Like, when she shoots a fireball, all you see is the trail, and a pathetic explosion. Rain of Fire doesn't even show anything at all!

Where are the settings for power effects in the graphics menu? I've tried messing around with a ton of settings and I have no idea what would make powers look better. Even if her computer can't handle it, I would just like to know which setting it is so I can see for myself.

Particle effects is what you'd be looking for in this instance.

It'll be a combination of particle quality and particle count. Quality makes it more realistic, particle count allows more physics effects visible at a time on the screen. (when you see shells surrounding you/enemies when shooting guns? particle effect. leaves falling off a tree, rock debris from Stone Melee or Earth Control, etc.)

Thanks for the info, that helped things a lot. Powers look great and almost zero performance drop.
