Whirlpool
Whirlpool modifier allows to twist an element into a whirlpool around the center of a light effect (take note, it is the light effect center, not the one of the element). You can set the twist angle and the whirlpool direction (right or left).
Twisting Angle is set in degrees from 0 to 1440.

When Density checkbox is enabled, interval between the whirling lines is increasing gradually (the further from the whirlpool center, the larger is the interval). When the Density checkbox is disabled, the interval is always the same.

Note! Whirlpool modifier will not give any result being applied to Blob and Ring elements in their initial form. But after even a very slight modification of a blob or a ring with any of modifiers (squeeze it vertically or horizontally, transform into a flower or a star, add a fractal) and you will be able to see the Whirlpool modifier effect.
