Changing a skill's range

Anyone have an idea where to change the skill range?

Yes you can do it from the database side and that's what I did and it works, but the animation is on the character and not on the mob that is now x about of meters away.

Anyone have a simple quick answer to this?

Be so kindly and show some screenshots about that.
Either you have increased the range way too far (we don't even know what kind of skill you changed: close combat skills, ranged pacheon skills, nukes, etc.) or you messed up something within your skilleffect focus and skill.efp localization.
