Ask Kssarh about spells 05/04/2015 07:46 AM CDT


I am sure this has been noted before, but when moonmages talk to Kssarh(maybe the others too?) about spells, the window pops up as it should. However, when attempting to choose a spell from the window Kssarh has no idea what you are talking about (the window closes out). Typing the command the old fashioned way still works, but the spell window method does not. This is in Stormfront, so other methods may be fine.



ask kssarh about magic (separate window of spells pops up)

Kssarh grumbles to himself and then mutters, "Yes, yes! The guild regulations say you're entitled to hear about spells whenever you wish." He sighs, and then flips through a large, leather-bound tome on his desk for a few moments.

Moments later, he looks up and says, "Well, Mistress Ayress, it appears in fact that you are entitled to hear about the Clear Vision spell from the Perception book, the Calm and Telekinetic Throw spells from the Psychic Projection book, and the Shadows spell from the Moonlight Manipulation book. If you wish to hear more about any of these blasted books, then you'd bleeding do well to say so now!"

Kssarh locks eyes with you. "Amazingly enough," he says, "you are entitled" -- he grimaces a moment -- "to learn more of the magic of this guild. You may choose a bloody spell if you can force that pea-brain to make a decision!"
>Clear Vision (chosen via spell window, which now closes out)
>
Kssarh growls, "What in the blasted stars above are you talking about? Quit wasting my time!"
>choose clear vision spell (typed like the old school mudders)
Kssarh stares at you for what seems like hours before he motions you over to a chair. "Sit!" he barks, as he pulls a massive leather-bound tome from under his desk. "The Clear Vision spell, eh?" he asks. "Well, it's the worst of the lot, but if that's what you want" -- he shrugs -- "then that's what you'll get!" Kssarh drops the book unceremoniously in front of you, then opens it to the proper page. "Now hurry up and learn the blasted spell!" he exclaims, flailing his arms about.

With Kssarh staring over your shoulder like a hawk watching a mouse, you commit the Clear Vision spell to memory.

I don't know if the spell windows have ever worked right. I just use the TOGGLE to turn it off and do it the old school way.

I used it to repick my spells after the last wipe on both my necro and warrior mage without any problems. Pretty sure the necro has used it recently to pick up new spells as well.

I get the same issue as described in the OP on my MM though.

It doesn't work for me in stormfront anymore and I used to. I think I last had it work about two months ago?

I dont just have this issue with Kssarh, either.

<<Must be a Genie issue for me then.

Most dynamic windows in Genie work, but not the ones with list selection mechanics. I.e. spells and the other one which escapes me at the moment.
