Spell effect stacking, bug or not?

I agree it's a bug and happens with quite a few of the spells. My current character is a Druid and I feel that the duration for most spells is way too short. The other thing is there is no way to know when your spell wears off, maybe a status line needs to be added that could be used to display events in the game, or better yet a way for the spell to 'autocast' if it runs out.

IMHO most of the 'buff' spells are not that good because the duration is way too short. I have been thinking of changing the .TXT file to make them longer on my copy of DO.

I think it's kind of neat with the light spell, but with combat spells it can further unbalance the system, as the examples mentioned show. There should be a way to specify which spells stack and which don't, and the ones that become overly powerful or make high-level skills pointless should not stack.

As for duration, I agree it is pretty short for many spells, particularly for buffs, to the point of making them more fiddly than they are usually worth, especially if you aren't playing with the speed turned way down.
