Spell/Wand Duration Issue

[NauVaseline]

I've noticed that occasionally, using a wand of the same type of spell that you've cast on yourself (either on yourself or another creature) can sometimes cause the spell you cast to shorten it's duration to the length of the wand.

If the spell has a numerical value, suck as Bulls Strength, then you'll technically have both applications of the spell on your character at once.

If, for example, you're caster level 20 and you personally cast one and roll a 1 (thus +2 to Strength) and then use a wand that rolls a 3 (thus a +4 to Strength) then the +4 will fall off before the +2 because the wand is cast at caster level 15 and won't last as long.

If however, for example, you cast a haste on yourself (at caster level 20 so it should last 2 minutes) and then use a wand of haste on yourself (which is at caster level 7 so it should last 42 seconds) and after 42 seconds you're no longer hasted, as in both applications have fallen off, then yes it's a bug and you're having problems.

Let me rephrase.

Using a wand on another creature when you have the same spell active on your character should not cause the spell active on your character to switch it's duration to the wand's duration. This is a bug. Possibly in NWN, possibly Arelith. I'm asking a coder to take a looksie so I know where to file this bug report.
