| There was a similar interaction between the Send charm and the Fetch wild talent. "Concentrate on sending my familiar to safety" would send the familiar to safety and also give a message like "You do not have a my familiar to safety." I don't have that character anymore though. I didn't use the Fetch sending much so I don't remember if that popped a message about not having a familiar identified by 'whatever'. --[[User:Fruri|Fruri]] 10:57, 9 February 2010 (EST) | There was a similar interaction between the Send charm and the Fetch wild talent.

| - | <strike>Elicat grants a number of affinities and resists, but they require assigned specialty points to start rather than just granting bonus specs like all the others I've seen. Is this intended? --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 01:36, 8 February 2010 (EST)</strike> yes, at first [[User:Msb|Msb]] 14:25, 8 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | |||
| - | <strike>Elicat's Extropic resource energy seems like it isn't being calculated correctly - with 28 in Vitamancy, 68 Extropic Affinity, I get 37.5 Extropic energy, while with 30 Albimancy and 68 Holy Purity, I have 133 Holy energy. From experience with the Carrion Bird ranger's Entropic energy, it doesn't seem like this is scaled right (had hundreds of entropic energy iirc). Vitamancy DOES affect the max value of Extropic energy, it just seems a bit out of whack compared to Holy. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 17:24, 9 February 2010 (EST) you know what, judging from the attack cost, I guess this is working as you intended --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 17:32, 9 February 2010 (EST) </strike> | ||

| - | <strike>Small typo in the Darkhold phoenix's combat chat: | ||
| - | "Tempest brings your wings around, violently buffeting you 2." (fault is in the Darkhold phoenix's code I suppose) --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 00:45, 10 February 2010 (EST) Another typo: "Tempest screams hatefully at you 2." --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 01:00, 10 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | :Fixed for future instances of the Darkhold phoenix. If existing ones are to be fixed, it will require case-by-case intervention. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 04:33, 10 February 2010 (EST) | ||

| - | |||
| - | <strike>Phoenix's first tier elemental attack does not appear to use ANY skill for its primary attack rating calculation, I don't think this was intended. It uses fractions of generalist skills and attributes only. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 11:18, 10 February 2010 (EST) Either this is fixed, or it was just that I had 0 skill so it wasn't appearing in the table, works fine --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 12:30, 10 February 2010 (EST) </strike> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <strike>Turtles from Castigon swamp have zero Recovery skill (according to Chaos) - this results in really excessive downtime compared to the other familiars, although again I suppose the fault is in the map animal and not so much in the bond code. This is after the turtle's been leveled from 9 to 15, if it's still zero I'm pretty sure something is wrong. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 14:48, 11 February 2010 (EST)</strike> not going to micromanage the initial skill settings of every monster file that can be made a familiar in the entire game. [[User:Msb|Msb]] 16:25, 11 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | :The turtle not having a recuperation skill isn't so much a "bug" as a "fact". There isn't any principle that says animals have to have points in that skill, just some do by way of automatic specialty assignment. —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] 18:24, 11 February 2010 (EST) | ||

| - | <strike>Leopard: kind of a cosmetic thing, but 'snow leopards' bonded up in gardagh grant jungle fieldcraft rather than e.g. arctic fieldcraft. I'm sure this is just because there is a generic 'leopard' species that every instance uses, rather than specific varieties based on regions, just thought I would bring it to your attention. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 19:15, 13 February 2010 (EST)</strike> when people make shitty pseudo-raced monsters, there'll be shitty pseudo-themed bonds.

Again this isn't your bond code, but I don't know of any other situation where it might come up. I'll put a bug in ingame as well, no big deal to me anyhow.--[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 08:48, 15 February 2010 (EST)</strike> no idea what causes this but its not bond code.

| - | <strike>Coven "Summon Loamflage" charm gave me a bug (logged)</strike> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <strike>Conversion rate of the Canalis charm is way out of whack compared to the damage delivered by the various special attacks - 100 to 3.6 at start, 100 to around 7 with 70ish elemental magick skills. If something costs 100 spellpoints it should be taking out enormous chunks of target health. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 00:12, 1 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Not necessarily. First of all, all your energy pools are in effect giving you bonus spell points (in terms of maximum capacity) to use on this stuff. Second of all, the conversion is only that bad because your skills for using that charm are horrible. Third of all, I tweaked the conversion rate of the charm slightly. Fourth of all, if the energy amounts need adjustment over time, I'll look at it. It's hard to compute a priori, since difference energies have different "potencies" (i.e. 1 point of elemental air is worth 5 points of spirit). [[User:Msb|Msb]] 11:16, 1 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | |||
| - | Current conversion rate after the tweak is much more agreeable, it's not like it's free but you don't burn the whole load killing a couple of rats either. Good change.--[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 00:47, 2 February 2010 (EST)</strike> | ||
| - | |||
| - | <strike>The Canalis charm is a bit cryptic - the description in bond info says I can acquire fire, earth, etc types, but when I try to actually do the charm with a lower skilled character I get "You know of no 'fire' energy." The charm DOES work for my other character with higher mental stats/skills, so it looks like there is a skill check involved, but it's a bit mysterious - fairly sure it isn't the elemental -mancies, since I don't believe they get introduced until AFTER you fire some of the special attacks that Owl grants, but I don't see what other skill might be required (maybe arcane lore)? This could be more obvious as to why it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 00:46, 2 February 2010 (EST) | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | <strike>The apagion "Channel Magick" attack maneuver does not use the Ergimancy skill, unlike the other attacks of the same type I've seen (Owl's e.g.) - would be nice to have some ability that actually used Ergimancy in the early-mid progression, although it does increase the Magick resource capacity, and would be more consistent with the other attack maneuvers. --[[User:Kaballah|Kaballah]] 20:58, 3 February 2010 (EST)</strike> This is deliberate and a little bit annoying to have reported on this problem page. Please keep it to bugs (either actual errors or things apparently not behaving as intended), typos, message discrepancies, and so on... thanks [[User:Msb|Msb]] 22:15, 3 February 2010 (EST) | ||

Problems with empathic bonds, the Zetesai, and the Verynvelyrae
Please report them here. Thanks. Msb 16:46, 27 January 2010 (EST)
Verynvelyrae
Charms
Call Familiar
Looks like the syntax for this collides with stormlord call lightning.
concentrate on calling my familiar vs. concentrate on calling lighnting down upon <target>
can you describe in more detail what happens? Msb 21:13, 8 February 2010 (EST)
It executes both abilities when you try to call lightning.
command: concentrate on calling lightning down upon foo
What foo? You have no familiar identified by 'lightning down upon foo' that you can call in this manner. Gargoyle 06:36, 9 February 2010 (EST)
okay after looking into it, believe it or not, this is a quasi-deliberate feature of thought process keys. it's supposed to be a fully general mechanism. so if you have two things keyed to "visualize a square", then they will both happen. but in this particular case it's kind of weird that they should both be keyed, since there is some semantic ambiguity... i'll look into changing the syntax for one of them (probably stormlord to "bring" the lightning or something). Msb 09:01, 9 February 2010 (EST)
There was a similar interaction between the Send charm and the Fetch wild talent. "Concentrate on sending my familiar to safety" would send the familiar to safety and also give a message like "You do not have a my familiar to safety." I don't have that character anymore though. I didn't use the Fetch sending much so I don't remember if that popped a message about not having a familiar identified by 'whatever'. --Fruri 10:57, 9 February 2010 (EST)
