Summary0010220: Explosive Crescent doesn't always work in tight quarters.
DescriptionIf you open the attached world, it's a pretty easily repeatable problem. Try firing off Explosive Crescent right where the player is standing, and nothing will happen. If you go to the top of the small incline she's on, then face left again. It will fire, despite the fact that she's hardly moved.

Not a bug, I expect. In order for a given piece of a shot to fire, it has to be able to trace a path between itself and your character's center. In almost all cases with this, that's something that can't be done, and therefore the spell can't be used.

This carries back to the first game, where it's the only way you can't fire around walls, etc.

I was aware of this, but, it does indeed look like it should be able to fire at least one of the bursts where the character is standing. Perhaps I'm wrong about where the centerline is, but, it looks like it should be going off.

I'll take a look at it.

These crescent spells are really unreliable because of this. Maybe the explosion should happen at furthest possible point along the traced path if it gets interrupted by a wall or something? That way you're not shooting through walls or anything cheesy like that, but it still actually gets to fire off.

Thanks!

* The reliability of spells like Circle of Water and Explosive Crescent has been improved MASSIVELY.
