I was going over the Magic 3.2 change log yesterday and came across a couple of the moonblade spell changes dealing with refreshing moonblades, but didn't see mention of this.

While you guys are in there tinkering with moonblade refreshing could you maybe fix it so that it flickers when getting close to expiration after it has been refreshed?

<<It should do this already.

It is not. Tested just now, log below. It doesn't matter if it flickered before or anything. If it is refreshed then it doesn't flicker anymore.

> prep moonbl
Since you're not feeding enough power into the spell pattern to make it coherent, you quickly work your way to the minimum required.
That won't affect your current attunement very much.

Turning your focus solemnly inward, you allow the configuration of the Moonblade spell to spread across your skin as a shadowy design of fractals and geometric abstractions.
> cast kata

You gesture.
Your Weaponsmithing techniques aid your effort.
A shadow deeper than night oozes into existence in your right hand and coalesces into a long narrow moonblade of dull black which seems to absorb light itself.

Your dung beetle scans the area, antennae waving thoughtfully.

You feel fully rested.

You gesture.
Your black moonblade absorbs the light around it for a moment.
Your moonblade seems to harden as the spell's energy reinforces its matrix.

... 10 minutes of stuff.

Your moonblade dissipates into the shadows from whence it came.

Unless I'm missing something this should only have been occuring if you refreshed after the first flicker. I believe I've fixed that case, please let me know if you see any other oddities here.

The fix is only in the test instance (since it's otherwise tied up in magic 2.0 changes). Are you testing there or in live?

Okay, I've tested on the test server now that both Xibar and Yavash are up, and a moonblade that is refreshed still never flickers regardless of when it is refreshed.

This log of my test is two moonblades of different colours done at the same time in order to save time. The blue moonblade is refreshed immediately after casting the original one and it never flickers before it ends. The red moonblade is refreshed immediately after it flickers once from the original cast and it too never flickers before it ends.

<<Okay, it should be fixed for real now.

Yup, it is. Thanks!
