Both of these spells have had minor tweaks.

Mage Armor has had it's messaging updated to help the caster determine which aspect is currently active and to be more interesting.

Charge item can now be cast at magic items to allow the caster to determine if an item is mage rechargeable, and to allow the mage to determine chances of success in successfully charging the item. Special note: charge status is only relevant to magic items, not gems.

Deliquesce! applauds

Viduus you're on a roll with the awesome updates!

I need more information than your clips currently provide.

Were the first and second mages casting at the same wand?
Was the first mage encumbered/injured/badly located?
Was the first wand completely charged or mostly charged?

Viduus

Same wand in a Ta illistim Wizard guild workshop niether encumbered or injured.

That's odd. At first glance, you should be getting the great many charges message. There may be something messing up that specific character's reading - like bad code! If you don't mind I'd like to observe your cast on it. I'll drop you an email to arrange a mutual time over the next few days.

Viduus

Awesome! Anyway to also change the 405 "recharged to original capacity" message to make it more obvious its not about rechargables? Also - possible to add gems detection to this spell?

I like the change to 520 but is there chance we can toggle on/off the "A layer of water surrounds xxxxxxxx and ripples with each movement." line like hiding the adventure guild badge without having to remove the spell entirely?

This issue should now be fixed, let me know if you guys see any more oddness.

Viduus

Heh. I'll volunteer to stand witness!

I'm a huge fan of the 520 new look messaging, except in the case of my main character who already has an amazing custom illusion message (best capping present ever). I already tried switching from fire to electricity, but now both have the word dance. Grrrr. Pretty please can we get a flag to turn off this beautiful messaging and still retain 520, so as not to conflict with other pre-established features/illusions? Please!

You see High Lady Treeva Ancalime Illistim the Mage of the Flame.
She appears to be an Elf.
Blah, blah blah, so many features...
Crackling flames dance along her body in fiery hues tinged with emerald.

It looks super dopey right now :( I'm crying inside.
