Wild Mage -fate cast bug

Post by Azrael Aetherian »

Description
Attempting to cast the -fate 55 (Hindsight) spell results in a "surge vanished" result. Unsure if I have ever seen this as a random surge on my character since starting either.

Steps to reproduce
cast -fate 55 and any spell to achieve Hindsight spell function.

Expected result
Hindsight spell activation

Actual result
Surge Vanished

Screenshot(s)
N/A

Notes
Unsure if there are any other's that may be affected, I will go through and start checking when I have time.

For Wild Mage bug reports like these, it's very useful to mention which spell you used to trigger the surge.

^a number of spells but the last attempted was casting the cantrip resistance on myself. I'll follow with more spells as I find time to attempt it.

Every spell in every circle results in the same action
Wild Surge: Surge Vanished.

Was Hindsight removed per an intended change?

This has been the case for a long time now. Ever since the first batch of changes to wildmage surges, back when we still had -surge and chaos shield.

I assumed it was just another shadow patch and intentional.

Looking at the code Hindsight was removed some time ago. Its now Spell Replenished and you can't fate that one for obvious reasons. The Wiki is not updated with this.
