    Does a higher number or a lower number make "framerate" faster

    For example, in a line in spellDB such as:

    <anim sprite="sprites/sfx/flame_field/flame_field" frames="10" framerate="60" centerEffect="0" sfx="fleshbore" />

    Would I change it to framerate="50" or framerate="70" if I wanted the animation to play faster?

    Lower is faster.

    Or, to expand on Fax' answer, in this case even though the word (or rather two words merged into one) "framerate" is used, the value is not that of a frame rate (the amount of frames in a given time period), but rather its near opposite, the amount of time one frame spends displayed.

    And I might be wrong now since I never really bothered to check, but the time ought to be in milliseconds which means that unless I am wrong a 20-frame animation with the value of 50 ought to last for one second.
