Limit: The maximum number of the Hazard that can be present at once. (When the limit is passed, hazards will be removed, with the oldest ones being removed first.)
Radius: This is the radius of the area of influence of the Hazard.
Target Interval: Interval in seconds between each Hazard effect's casting/activation, ie. setting to 5 will activate effects of Hazard once every 5 seconds. If the effect is a magic spell, this is the interval in seconds between each spell casted by the Hazard's effect. eg. if this value is set to 5 s. and the spell has a duration of 60 s., then the next cast will happen 65 s. after the current cast (5 s. after the current casted spell).
