A cone shaped force coming from an origin point would be quite useful for localized affects.
This can be used to simulate both a hair dryer or a vacuum.
The sphere and ambient forces don't seem like they'd do the job.
(Or maybe something else already exists to do this??)
Perhaps something like the following:

Perhaps something like the following:
- Strength - Can be positive (from force origin along direction vector) or negative (from force origin opposite direction vector).
- Origin Direction Vector - Central axis of cone and force origin.
- Start Directional Falloff - Origin to this value is 100% strength along the direction vector.
- End Directional Falloff - Start to end ramps from 100% down to 0% along the direction vector.
- Inner Angle Falloff - Degrees from direction vector where the strength is 100%.
- Outer Angle Falloff - Degrees from inner falloff ramps from 100% down to 0%.
- No forces are applied to anything outside of the cone.
- Even a square cone would probably suffice (like a camera frustum) if that's easier/cheaper to implement.
- The gizmo would likely just look like two nested cones with perhaps a central arrow with length representing strength.
