Make a buff icon blink faster as it runs out without the blink glitching

A bonus that is about to end should warn the player by blinking faster and faster. The obvious formula, speed times time, makes the icon flash at random moments each time the speed changes. The correct way is to add up small steps. Here is the idea and the exact warning curve.

Why this works

A blink is a position on a circle, and the eye notices jumps in position far more than changes in pace. Adding small steps lets the pace rise smoothly, because a new pace only changes how fast the icon moves on, never where it is.

When not to use it

Skip the blinking for players who are sensitive to flashing, or when many icons would blink at once and create a restless screen. Offer a calm option instead, such as a steady glow or a shrinking outline.
