Desert's Maelstrom is no longer showing when it's fully prepared. Log below.

You infuse your voice with the elements as you begin to sing the opening notes of Desert's Maelstrom.

The power welling up from deep within your soul burns out, your focus vanishing along with your improved combat prowess.

Also, thank you for the fixes!

DEMA at 40 mana seems a lot nicer so I have a sneaky suspicion that this will also affect Abandoned Heart if that too wasn't being flagged as a cyclic :)

None of mine are showing fully prepared!

They WERE but for some reason are not now.

Cyclic spells currently do not have a prep time (And by that I mean "Moon Mage, Bard, Paladin and Empath" I believe) - this is the result of a conversion we did to these spells. Don't expect it to stay that way, the current plan is to revert these updates (It didn't work quite how we wanted it to) and take a different stab at it over the next few days.

Were not yet fixed to remove the prep, and since it's going to be reverted, they won't be.

Just the auto 100% prep bit, or the other updates you rolled in as well?

And if I may ask, what is the plan for how you want it to work?

Specifically the change that removed their prep time.

As for how it's intended to work eventually -- Can't say yet, we're still having that discussion.

Too bad it has to be reverted. I really liked that change. It was nice not to have to wait to cast, especially since I don't need to harness anything for cyclics.
