You murmur a brief incantation for Imbue with a casual gesture...
Your spell is ready.
>cast at my stick
You gesture at a cracked stick.
Your body suddenly fills with a tingling sensation as you feel power from your surroundings channeling through your body and into the stick. After a few moments, the cracked stick begins to heat in your hand! Just before it becomes almost unbearable, you feel the surge of power end, leaving you drained. You feel the process has not been finished.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

You gesture at a cracked wand.
A murky haze forms a conduit between your hand and the cracked wand. As the connection resolves, you establish a deeper understanding of the artifact, but feel as if its true potential may not yet be realized.
[You prepare to imbue the cracked wand with up to 12 charges of Wild Entropy, for a cost of 36 mana. You may CAST at the wand once more to complete the process and permanently attune it to you.]
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

You gesture at a cracked wand.
Redolent of petrichor and leaf mold, a murky haze seeps from your hands and envelops a cracked wand. The wand shrivels somewhat, slowly staining darker as it absorbs the earthy brume. When the haze clears, you are holding a withered dark wooden wand.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Any updates on the new 620?

This is good to hear! I've been spending all my time getting my paladin figured out and settled so haven't had the opportunity to adjust yet for my ranger. Hopefully later this coming week!

It's actively being coded and is my #1 priority project. It's not a right around the corner thing, though.

Finally found some time to start playing around with the Ranger updates. Found a potential bug with barkskin or I am misreading the release notes.

I am able to eternally refresh barkskin and / or re-cast immediately after it wears off on myself.

They way I read the release notes it sounds like there should be a 5 minute cooldown period? Or is that only if the Ranger is casting the spell on someone else?

---

Barkskin (605) - New short-duration utility spell that allows the Ranger to surround themselves with a thick layer of bark, which will absorb the next instance of a physical attack, SMRv2 maneuver, bolt spell, or warding spell that would have otherwise successfully struck them. On attacks that would have only moderately been successful, the bark has a 50 + (Blessings lore ranks / 2) % chance of enduring. Moderate success is defined as a successful endroll threshold of no more than 20 + (Ranger’s Survival skill / 10). The duration of the spell is a flat 60 seconds, and may be cast on others.

No target of the spell may receive the benefits of Barkskin more than once per 5 minutes. At 15 Blessings lore ranks, the Ranger may COMMUNE with nature to cast the spell while incapacitated (but not while in roundtime) once per hour. At 50 Blessings lore ranks, the spell may be EVOKEd to affect the Ranger’s entire group for 15 mana.

Personally, I would find it handy to have Provoke/1235 discernable in SOME way.
- As the caster that would be handy in Spell Active, but not everyone is. (And if it is already active, trying to become "the caster" fails because the area is already Provoked.)
- Walking into the area could maybe gain some messaging?
- Having the spell effect be applied to "everyone in the area" for Spell Active, since... it is?

I have raised this before, in the Monk area, but with seeing these other changes from spells, this just reminded me.
