I logged on yesterday and noticed that everytime i casted a spell, no matter which one it was, Mes pen would be casted on me as well as the spell i wanted..

for example, i casted hept kel on a mummie, just after my ice bolt hit the mummie, mes pen was casted on me. Have I been blessed by the gods or is there some kinda mistake?

really didnt wanna report this cos its quite good havin heal casted on me after every other spell at no mana cost

Actually, I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I'm guessing it was a bug that came when the server reseted recently.

In any case, it's best to report this to bugs@illarion.org.

It doesnt heal you. And I am pretty sure that everybody gets it now. Some kind of way to identify the person who casted the spell. Because now it doesnt say someone forms silent words with there lips

It's no bug. They just changed the magic around a bit. So you know who's casting without flooding.

didnt there used to be that little white soke thing that appeared on you when you failed? why not jsut use that...i think it is more appropriate

Yes, it is no bug, but I think it is nice because you see the magic swirling around your body as you cast it. I think its a nice touch.

I believe it was a good touch as well, but it keeps making me believe I casted the healing spell on myself when I didn't.

But, I'll get used to it in time, no doubt.

Well they don't usually put new gfx in until builds on the client so we'll probobly have new spells and animations.

Hehe, Gro'bul, I wonder where you always get your informations.

But yes, we just changed the output of spells in generell a little bit. Many player got rid of the "#me forms silent words with his lips". Others complained about that one can't see who really casts.

Both will be fixed with that little change, which isn't more then just an optical thing. To install a new graphic for it would mean to give everybody an update-file (just for such a little thing), which is out of proportion.

Of course we could have used the "little white soke" but this gfx is also occupied with another meaning. So we used the magical flitter thing. I, for myself, would prefer most magic effects having the same optical effect, because I do not feel it is very good to identify the used spell by his graphic.

Maybe I'm the gm moderator! I've only been here for one build but notice lots of gfx were replaced. I can see the veiwpoint of the creators pretty well and made a good guess. Well purely magic spells would be good like that, however elemental spells and such like the icebolt you would see flying through the air, or an explosion setting things on fire.
