QoL requests for companion abilities

I just have two things that I would really appreciate if they made their way into the game.
First, it would be very helpful if ability/trait VFX that come from friendly NPC's were visually different from those of enemies. I just obtained the ant who makes cold explosions, and although I love him dearly it would be great if I could tell which floor hazards are his.
Second, when my ant friend and I come home after doing a map, it would be nice if he would relax on indefinitely spamming my screen with his favorite ability. He does not need to be doing all that while I'm just going through my stash. Time and place, friend.
That's all, I'm pretty happy with the companion system otherwise, I just need my guy to not be stressing me out all the time, that's all.

Frost mandibles ice 'plosions will probably be removed entirely at some point as that's a rare monster affix and shouldn't really be on a spectre.

Aside from that, the dirty fix is to only have them on one weapon set. That way when you've finished killing everything in the map you can swap weapons to turn them "off".

You dont need to worry about confusing your ants iceplosions with monster iceplosions because all of those effects to extremely minimal damage. like 100 damage (in lvl 82 areas) or something equally trivial.
