Mestil's Acid Breath is Evocation (Intentional?)

Post by Ouranochoros »

Description of Bug Experienced:
Hello! I play a Shadow Mage (wizard) with ESF: Conjuration and I was wondering why my maximized Mestil's Acid Breath wasn't doing the 90 damage it should be. So I checked the spell in my spellbook and it is listed as Evocation, which for Shadow Mages is cast at -6 CL.

Both the Arelith and NWN wikis list the spell as conjuration. Was this change intentional? Is it only for Shadow Mages? Other conjuration spells (e.g., Flame Arrow) are not similarly changed to evocation.

If this is an intentional change I suggest someone clarify it on the wiki.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Check Mestil's Acid Breath in spellbook (possibly as a Shadow Mage) / cast Mestil's as a Shadow Mage.

Expected Result:
The spell should be of the conjuration school, with no detrimental effects for Shadow Mages.

Actual Result:
The spell is listed as evocation, with all the detrimental effects for Shadow Mages.

The spell currently is conjuration with 12d6 max damage.
Spell description might not be accurate.

I will look into this today/this week.

Should be doing:

"Mestil Acid Breath (3): from 10d6 max to 15d6 max (90 max, 57.5 avg)" according to the update thread. And the wiki.

By looking into this, meant adjust to 15d6 ;)
