Re: Very Obscure Bug
Boy do I feel stupid.
I had all of these great spells and then the second test versions stopped working. I thought it was because my pretender was casting them (no), I thought it was something odd about effect 23 (no), I thought it was the nation restriction (no).
If you REPEAT the spell specification block (i.e. if you define #researchlevel, #school, etc. once, and then define them all again) you appear to get the desired result (the second block of definitions takes effect) - and, you seem to preserve the damage, effect info. etc if you look at the description.
HOWEVER, if you try to *cast* such a spell, it completely doesn't work.
This is a bit of a pain for testing because I can't just paste in a new definition for level. etc, I have to comment the old one out by hand.
Now that I know the problem I expect to have a new version of this mod out by this weekend.
