What happend to the Magic

[Grunt]

Since the last bug fixes my cleric simply can't cast any spells.
They there working fine before.
There is also a bug in the combat section.
I got an error message then i am trying to use the end command in a battle.
It would be nice if these bugs could be fixed in one of the next releases, so i could continue to create new spells.

With best wisches Grunt.

here's what i did to check out the magic situation.
-i created two characters, one cleric, one mage
-each had 45,678 experience points making them both level 6 (cleric had int. and wis of 16, mage int of 15, wis of 16)
-i used the three default spells that shipped with the .740 release, plus a detect magic spell for clerics
-there was a combat between the two characters and some giant rats

here's what i found: (i hope this helps...)
-cleric had the ability to memorize 16 first level, 11 second level and 3 third level spells. i had him memorize 8 cure light wound and 8 detect magic.
-mage had the ability to memorize 11 first level, 7 second level and 3 third level spells. i tried to have him memorize, but it said "no spells available".
-before combat, i had the cleric cast detect magic, interestingly on the cast screen, it showed that i had memorized 8 cure light wounds and only 4 detect magic spells. it made the casting sound but did nothing as far as display. i could not get it to cast cure light wounds at all.
-in combat, the cast command/button did nothing.
-i tried using the end command, and it worked fine for both characters.

other observations:
cleric- spell allowances were 16/11/3 => in second ed. they should have been 3/3/2 modified to 5/5/2 with the 16 wisdom.
mage- spell allowances wee 11/7/3 => in second ed. they should have been 4/2/2 with no modifications for intelligence or wisdom.
combat- there was no guard option, but i can't recall if it had been there before or not.

i hope this helps. i did the above twice with the same results...

You know what, I haven't been able to cast any spells in DC yet. I tried to memorize spells and the cleric could and mage had none available. I tried to create a magic missle spell, and was unable to test due to no mage spells available. Is anyone out there doing spell testing?
BTW, I thought of trying to recreate the Oriental Adventures Database for weapons and such.

The 'End' command in combat should be fixed in the current version, 0.740.

I've been working on combat quite a bit lately, in preparation for adding spell casting to it. It has many problems still remaining, and I fixed several during the last week. I haven't tested any spell casting lately, but I will before the next release to at least ensure the non-combat spells still work.

I don't think I tested spell memorization limits over level 2. Looks like there is a big bug in there somewhere.

The oriental items sounds good. If you create the items in the editor, then export them to a text file (using database utilities), those items can be made available to other designers. They can import your text file to get those same items.

Hello Silent Thief,

somewhere around the release 7.30 the cleric spells there working outside combat. I had made some healing spells myself and they had only a minor bug.
You could raise your hitpoints above the max. hitpoints with the healing spells.
I think you will need a script which checks the max. hitpoints and set your current hitpoints to max. hitpoints if the healing spell cures to much damage.
I will try if the clerical spells in 7.50 are working now.

Thanks for your reply
