What it does
The default UI is poor at telling you where an enemy cast is going: nameplates overlap and the important spell highlight is faint. TargetedSpells shows spells targeting you in a frame of its own, and spells targeting party members next to the party frames.
Healers have to split their attention less between nameplates and party frames, and anyone timing an ability like Spell Reflection gets a clearer view of what is coming and at whom.
The look follows Blizzard's style. Size, gap, direction, sort order, glow type and duration text are all adjustable.

Notes
- The description relies on some retail client features; it is not clear which options work on WoW Forever.
- Sound alerts are no longer possible, and spells cannot be sorted by when they finish because cast times are hidden by the game.
FAQ
How does it help a healer?
You see who in your party is being targeted right next to the party frames, without checking nameplates.
Are spells sorted by which one lands first?
No. The game hides cast times, so that sort order is not possible.
