Not sure if this is a bug but I had 3 separate 40 mana vigil links going and my spirit never dropped below 99%. It seems like more of my spirit should be getting eaten up.

Also if you vigil a cleric with OM up you get weird perceive messaging. It cuts out the name of the cleric you've linked in favor of the Osrel Meraud messaging. (This is after the other 2 vigil links dropped.) I'm a moon mage so I don't have an Osrel Meraud orb.

>perceive
Katamba and Yavash are dominant, while Xibar's influence is weak.
Perception and Moonlight Manipulation spells are favored.
Your blue moonbeam should last at least five more anlaen or until Xibar sets.
Your red moonbeam should last at least five more anlaen or until Yavash sets.
You sense the Vigil spell upon you, which is linked to your Osrel Meraud orb.
You sense the Protection from Evil spell upon you, which will last for about ten roisaen.
You sense the Distant Gaze spell upon you, which will last for about one hundred eight roisaen.
You sense the Clear Vision spell upon you, which will last for about twelve roisaen.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

I had this happen several days ago as well, but the situation was slightly different. On my Moon Mage I had three of my own Vigil links up with three non-clerics and a cleric with an active OM orb had a vigil link of theirs up on me. I, too, saw the "You sense the Vigil spell upon you, which is linked to your Osrel Meraud orb" but none of the other three links I had active showed in PERCEIVE, although they were still functioning. I.e. both pulse messaging and spirit regeneration functioned correctly despite them not showing in PERCEIVE.

I think there's a couple things here--

You can have multiple Vigil links going, but they don't all show up in perceive.

If you cast Vigil on a cleric who has OM going, the messaging turns into that one and I think it never expires.

I've run into both these issues in the past, too, but I don't use Vigil all that often lately, and generally don't multi-stack it. During the lead-up invasions to Hollow Eve a couple years ago, with the things that did soul attacks, I used to Vigil all my friends and Soul Shield from a distance, and it was definitely doing all this then. But it was only a messaging weirdness, didn't affect the functionality. I think I did submit a bug report, but that might've been at a bad time.

Maybe they have very good spirit health? Vigil never drains my spirit health much at all (I only ever use it on one corpse at a time, these days), but of course, being a cleric, spirit health is rather high.

The original post was less for speculation and more for bringing to the attention of the bug folder.

The 3 links I had were cast on dead PCs and carried through till they topped off their spirit. 3 people died in quick succession. Vigil is intended to slowly equalize the spirit but I would have expected a much greater spirit drain maintaining 3 links with dead people and their tanked spirits.
