Are both archons and bone wyverns suppose to be immune to mind shout. I cant get them with mind shout, but I can get them with mb just fine.

I would need more information to tell what's going on. Are they resisting one spell but not the other? Both use the same core stun mechanic and there shouldn't be a way to be inherently immune to one vs the other.

Looks like they're stun immune. Is it actually stunning them with mental blast or just triggering the secondary effects? A quick look right after casting the mental blast should tell you.

Would it be possible to have the shadowling (and in a shadow messaging) be sent to the atmo window? It's cute and amusing and neat the first read but then it kind've just becomes scroll (especially if you have more than one MM in the room).

Shadowlings themselves? Not likely. Invokes shadowlings? Possibly. It was actually intentional to keep them slightly irritating (They mimic normal shadowlings to a very large degree) as flavor to the spell. I'm also considering slowing them down somewhat.

Shadowlings becomes very irritating when multiple Moon Mages are using them.

What that means is that Mental Blast is bypassing stun immunity. I wonder if other spells that stun are doing that?

To clarify, it would need to be a single target stun not an AoE one. Otherwise it should catch the immunity the same way Mind Shout does.

I think something broke with Shadowlings?
Right now my attunement regeneration after invoking my shadowling is at about 5% every second. Don't get me wrong, this is nice... but I highly doubt it's intended.
FWIW...
Prepped shadowling at minimum.
Used 15 mana in cambrinth.
Used 5 mana held.
Cast using 'cast;invoke shadowling' on the command line in Genie, so the invoke was milliseconds after the cast.

Hrmph.
Should be fixed now - weird that no one had managed to create that before (or fessed up to it at least...) since my change only indirectly influenced it. It's possible this will have some ripple effects down the line to how the spell behaves but the effects from the personal spell should very closely mimic the effects from a shadowling in the room (And they do not stack with each other).

I'm not 100% sure how it got corrupted but it was a combination of a quirk of shadowlings (Their personality takes a few seconds to form) and some crappy error checking on my part that was getting bypassed that was designed to fix problems like that.

The problem with the statement that "moon mages should just share a shadowling" breaks down in the daylight. At that point they all need their own personal one, so you get the extra spamming. Thanks for reducing the frequency though.
