sorry GM's... not sure if they're bugs so..

-air lash works underwater, I figured it wouldn't since the other air spells(other than Air Bubble) have no air to manipulate (though I wonder if an air fissure would matter)

-Electric shock from electricity spells in the water seems to be in a random order: like with GZ the ES flares for 3 bizars, then damage for one, then another's shield flared, then the damage listed for the rest. (nothing huge, just out of order, always been that way)

-Elec spells do the shock thing in water instead of damage, except GZ which does the shock thing AND damages- I believe it may also ignite naphtha underwater, hadn't gotten that far yet...

-MOF casts and works underwater, not sure if that's intended cause it's a transformation.

-Zeypher doesn't blow away fire rain? Used a really strong one, and a weak firerain.

-wasn't sure if it was supposed to from the spell desc- but fire rain doesn't light flammable objects or naphtha on the ground, least I sat there for awhile and had no luck.

-spellbooks line up mostly with the new stuff, but reference some spells that aren't theres and a few are missing, the polymorphic book is listed too, also couldn't use the scroll section last night, but you guys saw that.

>>-MOF still casted underwater, flared when attacking, and actually lit the naphtha I threw at a shark.
>>-YS and PW also work underwater
>>-vertigo stacks, like i can cast 10 times, and it'll pulse for all 10, bug?

I'll leave MOF as is right now, I don't think anyone wants to get too rough on the environmentals for WM spells.
YS now works underwater, and the messaging proves it.
PW does not. Tiny bubbles can only do so much.
Vertigo should prevent recasts.

>Summoning seems to learn slow

My experience was a little better. I started up Pathway Focus Accuracy and got to 8/34. Then I left combat, and did Summon Admittance repeatedly with Pathway Focus Accuracy running and got to 34/34 in just a few minutes. This brought two questions to mind. 1) Should we learn Summoning for using Pathways outside of combat, and 2) Should we be able to Summon Admittance while running a pathway?

>Barrage doesn't seem to work

I asked on chatter, and it appears it's not quite working yet. So it's known to be broken at the moment. I'm curious if Elemental Charge gained by casting a TM spell from your aligned element can completely negate the Elemental Charge lost by using Barrage. Does casting a higher tier spell regain more than casting a lower tier spell?

Just for clarification

also know the following feats

You recall proficiency with the magic feats of Basic Preparation Recognition, Faster Targeting, Faster Battle Preparations, Focused Preparation, Augmentation Mastery, Targeted Mastery, Deep Attunement, Efficient Channeling and Efficient Harnessing.

Words Words Words .. in the end thats all it is

If memory serves I was barely getting CL off at your skill in prime and as previously stated, it is now slated to be a much harder to cast spell. The flip side is all our TM spells are powerful leaving you with a much wider range of what you can now use and actually learn/damage.

Luck is nothing more than opportunity meeting preparation.

>>I cannot complete due to the strain... this seems overly punitive I know I am not one of the big mages out there but CL is kinda our defining spell i cant believe you mean for it to be so harsh to cast.

What's the power level in the room?

>Would AC reverse ROS?

I've never used AC, does it work on AoE spells? RoS might be considered AoE since it hits everything at melee.

Getting odd messaging on Stone Strike (STS) as well.

You gesture at a young forest gryphon.
A stone slab rips itself free of the earth, shatters into numerous jagged shards and hurtles toward a young forest gryphon!
The right legshard impacts causing a solid hit to a young forest gryphon's right hind leg.
The backshard impacts causing a solid hit to a young forest gryphon's back.
The chestshard impacts causing a solid hit to a young forest gryphon's chest.
The headshard impacts causing a solid hit to a young forest gryphon's head.
The young forest gryphon is lightly stunned!
Roundtime: 1 sec.

Cleric halo should function similarly to RoS, though without the damage component (versus non-undead at least), might be worth testing with that?

AC reversal messaging looked better, at least I didn't see anything screwy with things like aether lash or anything that's overly reliant on the cast while I was playing around.

The main one I remember it looking weird was a spell where light came out of their hand, and I did the same back at them, and the necro spell, where I got DO and the damage from not having a bleeder or whatever.

>>move this version over to plat?

Most of my fixes the last few days have been to both places at once. This one was more of a test of a new way to do it, and possibly dangerous, so I have it only in Test for the moment. If things are look solid on it, I'll be moving it over later tonight.

it goes away, just don't use any "city" services for awhile <vaults, banks, npc empaths, etc.>

Not sure if this belongs on a buggy list or a question.

Cyclical spells, should they add to elemental charge every time you feed them mana?

I'm aligned fire and often hunt with Fire Rain, it would be great if that added to my charge each pulse.

>>Bonus points if we can Ignite our familiar and have it work with MoA as well.

Charizard, use Flame Thrower now!

Are you sure you used the foci correctly? Invoked them and got a response from the game indicating 'magic stuff happens good'?

At at 200s PM I was casting the cleric PoM fine with a focus. Just asking.

>>Are you sure you used the foci correctly? Invoked them and got a response from the game indicating 'magic stuff happens good'?

I should have included a log just to make sure I'm doing it right, here is what's happening:

> prep mof
Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
You feel intense strain as you try to manipulate the mana streams to form this pattern, and you are not certain that you will have enough mental stamina to complete it.
However, if you utilize a ritual focus: That will disrupt less than half your current attunement.

You trace a hasty sigil in the air, shaping the pattern of the Mantle of Flame spell.
> invoke pouch

>
Kneeling down, you draw the spell pattern's shadow with some of your supply of crushed scheelite.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
R>
Your crushed scheelite design erupts, transforming into a pattern of vivid and fiery lines!
The mana-reactive crushed scheelite burns with power, but some flaw in your ritual's design prohibits it from feeding the spell pattern.
R>
Your vivid and fiery ritual burns away, leaving no sign of its former presence.
R>
You feel fully prepared to cast your spell.
> cast
You raise your fist toward the sun.
You strain, but are too mentally fatigued to finish the pattern, and it slips away.

Do you have the tech for using foci?

>Do you have the tech for using foci?

That tech only grants the ability to use non-realm specific foci.

You may just be shy of what you need to cast. It seems that around 250+ I have no issues casting either of them.
