Rime fang giving trouble 11/24/2010 07:00 PM CST
Odd problem with Rimefang right now where I cannot even cast at minimum prep..."pattern collapses at last moment". I have cast this spell successfully for months. Did it get tweaked?

Thanks.

Consider nerve damage, area... weather.

If all else fails, try using pathway ease and a fir familiar (panther) to cast it successfully.





Which would be worse? To live as a monster or to die as a good man?

<<..."pattern collapses at last moment".

Are you perhaps hunting undead at the moment? I think that's the message that happens when the super undead resistance kicks in. Any magic resistance really, but its only really a common occurance if there's undead or Barbs in the room. Even if its not contesting them directly, it might contest the general room MR.

If this is the case, casting with more mana may allow you to overcome it.

Is that the message that starts out "You have difficulty manipulating the mana streams..." or somesuch?

In which case, yes, that's the spell failing against the combined MR of the room.

Odd question, is your attack stance at 0% by any chance?

Now working in other rooms without people...guess it was MR. Kinda good to know that my spell won't work if fighting against a barb or someone...at least until I can bump up the juice a little.
