Dumb question 01/08/2007 11:39 PM CST

I dont get cast at very often so never remember what Im supposed to see when I get zapped.

The other day a Cleric was casting the new version of AE on me and basically I was just getting zapped bad. I didnt see a single mention of any IF hits or any sign that I was resisting in any way. I thought that BMR resisted TM spells and I should have seen some messaging even if I was being overwhelmed. Was not able to check IF level as I ended up dead.

Anyone able to remind me what Im supposed to see in this sort of situation please.





There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

No message means you partialy resisted, that or there's something wonky with the new spell version and for some reason not getting checked. There's messaging when your resistance causes a spell to fail completely and when it totaly overwhelms your IF. Nothing inbetween.

Guess I should show you the messaging too.

Mage's spell failing completely:
Small motes of light flicker for a moment around xxxx, then fade.

Mage overwhelming BMR:
You sense a decrease in the level of your inner fire.

Thanks

Sounds reasonable except the part about dying when partialy resisting.

If it makes you feel any better it's possible to have your BMR completely overwhelmed and survive.

You could have resisted 1%, just enough to not take IF hits but no real effect on the spell.

Also I think AE was switched over to full TM recently, at least in Prime it was recent I think, so it shouldn't have the sparkling lights happen on complete failure.
