Wish has come up before. Apparently you can't see the text you type, but it is there and will work. To be fixed in the first patch, I believe. It always amazes me when people ask about this spell - I've been playing Dom for years, and have yet to go through the effort to cast it - would take one helluva long game.

Ritual of rebirth will I think only work if one of your own dead commanders is in the hall of fame.

I've used Ritual of Rebirth testing the latest patch as well as in earlier Versions. No problems so far, but Truper is right that it requires a unit to be in the Hall of Fame.

Also it doesn't work on non mummy undeads, but you can cast it again on the same mummy every time he dies, provided he remains in the hall of fame.

He's a beta tester.

Don't worry, it'll be out soon http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

There are some spells which do not appear to work. From the games I have played the following spells do not work:

Phantasmal Attack (air spell) <busted>
Call Lesser Horror (astral spell) <busted>
Call Horror (astral spell) <busted>

The above spells show as they were casted okay yet no battle ever takes place.

a few times Earth Attack causes a game crash when trying to view the battle showing an error of: 'bad vcr header' .

I have cast ritual of rebirth twice now in a MP game -- but to no avail. I cast it twice because I thought perhaps I forgot to cast it the first time, since nothing happened, but now I have wasted the gems 2x in a row. I get no result from Ritual of Rebirth. (And yes, the commander was a non-undead human in the Hall of fame, and no he was not kicked out of the hall of fame during the interim. He's still there, still dead.)

I have definitely seen Phantasmal Attack and Send [Lesser] Horror work - i.e. they have produced a battle. This was with the 2.08 patch.

It's possible that you need a spy or Astral Window to see the results of Send Horror, like the Flames from Afar spell. I'm pretty sure I've seen battles from the Phantasmal Attack spell where I've had neither a spy nor a scrying spell, but did have an adjacent province, which might conceivably have an effect.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Those were bugs in the initial unpatched Version, and were fixed in the first patch, so it's not surprising that they are working for you now.
