Suddenly getting a random spell misfiring message that I was not getting earlier today... I should note, my weapon was not consecrated, but I also got this message with subsequent testing with consecrate on it. Seems to only happen when I have Zealous on.

((editted down a bit))

This happens because you're using "attack <target>" instead of just the attack/ambush verb by itself. The zealous flare is attempting to find your current target and coming up short. If you switched from attack by itself to attack <target> during the day you'll see more of these messages.

>>Bit confused on that explanation. I figured this was just a bug with 1603 zealous that would go away at some point. Is that supposed to happen?

I was clarifying on the actual cause of the misfire bug. It's due to the target value not being properly set when the attack happens. Attack/ambush alone will set the value for the whole attack, but "attack <creature>" doesn't set it before the 1603 flare triggers. There are some known bugs with 1603 that will be resolved once the damage is finalized.

Viduus

>>Huh. So that'll change to work with those verbs later?

Yeah, I already have a fix for it in development. I've been holding off on pushing changes while the spell undergoes some rework to avoid potential code conflicts, but if that draws out much longer I'll probably figure something out.
