Description of Bug Experienced:
Applying essences to an Eldarbat Nihayah strips the 1 magical damage on the weapon.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:
Enchant for damage. (maybe this was my error.) Apply an essence.


Expected Result:
I assume it was meant to stack?


Actual Result:
It replaces the magical damage property.

Tested on PGCC. I was making sure it would even work, first.

Permanent essences always override a weapon's additional damage.

Having spoken with the contributor recently, it didn't seem like this overriding was intentional. I'll wait and see what they say.

The damage will have to be changed to damage on [race] or [alignment] for it not to be replaced by a permanent essence, unless they rework how essences work.

It's always been this case.

See the Blade of Elements that people always mess up.

If its not intended, people will have to rework the code to avoid that.

I'm aware, and possibly it was a mistake to post this, but I did anyway to be sure.
