GSF: Illusion messenger behavior with ESF: Illusion

The GSF Illusion messenger goes on lock-out after using ESF Illusion (Clone)

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
1. Send a message with -project_image <Name> to see the character can send messages
2. Rest to clear the timer
3. Use ESF Illusion (Clone) to create a character illuion
4. Try and send a message with -project_image <name>


Expected result
-----------------------
Message sends and starts a countdown regardless of the ESF clone, same behavior as the -teleport_create and -teleport working independantly


Actual result
-------------------
Observe the error message 'Character must be level 21 and have the GSF Illusion feat. Message not sent. '

Yes, this is not intentional. Allow me some time to fix this.

It's an awesome quality of life code change you made :) take all the time needed to fix this one erroneous little piece, as it still works in all other instances!

I just had it fail and give the same message without having made the illusion clone. The only thing I can think of causing it would be the FOIP -ward command against scrying which I had used in that rest cycle.

Now seems to be always only usable once per rest. I've not been able to succesfully send a second message in a few days.

Thanks for the report! I am currently investigating this.

The clone is, to my knowledge, still an Epic Spell Focus once per rest bonus.

The update decouples "sending an image" from "making a clone", with "sending an image" being the GSF cooldown bonus.

I am aware of this. The clone I was referencing was the one that delivers the message.

Phew, this has been a nasty one. I believe I made a fix for this and the update will go live soon!
