I don't have 20 minutes to find the right magic folder for this. So consider this my complaint.
An Ithzir seer becomes very still as he bows his head. He slowly raises his arms out to his sides until they are horizontal to the ground.
A sense of peace and calm settles over the area.
An Ithzir seer bows his head and places his hands over an Ithzir adept, and though the seer's lips do not move, you hear a single word spoken clearly and forcefully: "Koh!" A pale nimbus encircles the fallen adept, then fades into the corpse. The Ithzir adept awakens looking confused and somewhat drained!
The seer sags slightly, drained by the miraculous ordeal.
If a person attempts to create a sanctuary in front of a higher level creature, it fails.
OTF sanctuary casters appear to be BUGGED because although I am higher level than everything there, they NEVER fail to create a sanctuary. This is CLEARLY a bug because the spell is intended to fail occasionally in front of higher level opponents.

| The player cast version of minor sanctuary will occationally fail when cast in front of a higher level creature. Unfortunately the ithzir which cast minor sanctuary appear to be using a different version than we are. Would it be possible to introduce this failure chance when they attempt to cast minor sanctuary in front of higher level adventurers? |
Which one of these is likely to received a more positive response? Not to say either one will result in a change but the prior, which is intentionally belligerent, is more likely to be ignored. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar and all that. Far be it from me to judge how others post but I can tell you from personal experience that the style I've seen you posting with recently is not going to lead anywhere good. Take that how you will.

According to the spell description, it is hindered by enemy "creatures." Are you, in fact, a creature? Or are you a proud representative of your noble [elfin, dwarven, human, whatever] bloodline and heritage?

I point out the obvious parts and bold them so they can be seen easily if you're scanning posts. I didn't even know about this folder, and with zero GM replies in this folder I hope my BOLDING helps someone locate this bug.

Not sure what the "issue" is that you want looked at. This is pretty much standard for that area; those crystal-edged weapons are notorious for doing death flares on a 1-2 damage hit. Moral: don't leave those lying on the ground where scouts can grab them. Oh, and it works both ways; I gave a couple of those to my TWC warrior. Nice flares; too bad they are 0x weapons.

I will chime in on my dislike of the instant sanct and raise effects as well. Nothing like killing a foe and while in RT a seer walks in, sancts, and raises it. Before the "update" from Oscuto because he said they were failing to raise often enough, you could at least try and loot them before the second cast.

Thanks for getting the thread back on track. To the hi-jacker, get used to it. Spell tank or train better.
Since there have been ZERO GM replies in this thread EVER. I doubt it's even the right folder to have this conversation. It would be changed by the magic team, not by some Illistim hunting guru, which I doubt even exists.
They cast minor sanctuary (213), mechanics should be consistent and they should fail if a higher level player is in the room when cast.
Less annoying mechanics please, this is a game, it is supposed to be fun. It is not fun to have a spell fail as a player, and then work 100% when a creature uses it against you. That's called frustrating.
GM's, do you read this folder?
Are you a GM that actually has any authority over this issue?
Let's see how long it takes for those questions to be answered, if ever.

GM's read this topic.
Yes, there HAVE been GM responses in this topic in the past. There have also been bugs fixed in the past that were fixed because of posts in this topic ALONG WITH bug reports about them in-game. But there needs to be a bug report in-game about it so that it can be easily tracked and investigated on whether it is considered truly a bug or not.
No, I personally do not have authority over fixing this proposed problem.

My sword had not hit the bottom of my harness and i was dead. All them crystal edge blades and forks get totted out and sold at the pawn shop or I'll drop them in the cottage where they can't be snatched up. Just didn't care for a 1 hp shot and a death crit to follow.
