Blue Mold I can definitely tackle.  I'll do that right now, as I continue to try to track down another bug involving the Thorn Sleep Curse.  Not sure what do with the Magic Item Merchant, though I can note it.  Interestingly, I also encountered a bug with a Magic Item Merchant today - released him from a cage and he was in every way normal, except he sold Weapons instead of Magic Items.  Dunno what to do with that, either!

Thank you!

Maybe that merchant was sick of getting stuck in a cage and decided to change careers to defend himself? :p

Good luck on your bugfixing

Hi, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but the Soul Guide Lantern doesn't gain souls if you kill enemies via Summoned allies.

Also, the Mask of Dreams apparently cannot create a Vortex. If you fail, the failure message appears as intended, but if you succeed, no message appears and neither does the Vortex, you just regain control of your character immediately after the animation.

I'll look into em!  Thanks!

Hmmm... the mask of dreams I don't get.  At least in so far as vortexes are concerned.  It's beholden to the same restrictions as the Open Dimensional Portal spell now (only even possible on 33% of maps) but it literally casts the spell when used and I can't see any flaw with its reporting.  Is it possible it's triggering one of its other effects and reporting nothing there?  I'm assuming you're hearing the dimensional portal sound and seeing the magical effect to clue you into which effect is triggering?  I'm confounded at the moment.

I don't know either. It does play the sound and the image when it randomly selects the effect, but nothing happens. I know it's supposed to be a success because I had the failure message appear when it fails the 33% check.

I'll look again.  Shoot...  I'm going over the code again and again and not finding anything.  No matter how it comes to the spell (spell, scroll, wand, Mask of Dreams or Astral Key), if successful it creates the portal, according to the code.  In fact, at the point in time it puts the vortex on the map, it hasn't even checked to see how you cast the spell yet.  When you use Mask of Dreams, it comes to the spell with a variable called "casted" equalling 5.  5 denotes Mask of Dreams for this spell.  But every single outcome, from success, to any of the 7 or 8 ways you can fail, includes a text output dedicated to casted equalling 5.  So I can't see a way you wouldn't get text, unless you adjusted your text prompts setting to Expert (they default to Basic).  At Expert, in this situation, it wouldn't give you any text output, but even then, if the spell was successful, the vortex would appear, and if it failed, the word "Fail" would scroll above your character icon.  Is there any chance you adjusted this setting between when you cast the spell, receiving the fail notification and when you cast it later and got no text?

Hi, no my text prompt setting is still set to Basic.

But funny thing, I tried the mask again this morning, and it successfully created a Vortex. I don't why it was different this time, but it suddenly worked, with the success message appearing as well. I didn't touch any setting.

Huh.  I'll add it to the "keep my eye on" pile of things.  I hate when that pile grows because it really means, "There might be a bug here but I can't figure it out without more data."  Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

For the Soul Guide Lantern, I've simply changed its text to read "Each time you personally kill a monster" instead of "each time you kill a monster" to avoid confusion

ok thanks, this makes it clearer.
