Summary	0010620: Spells sometimes behave very strangely
Description	Occasionally in an area spells will seem to have a sort of magnetic attraction to one point on the map. Fire towards it they move very quickly, fire away from it they move very slowly and have much shorter range than expected. It will even change the trajectory... for example, spells that are supposed to got at a downward angle, such as Slider spells, will instead move up or straight. Occasionally spells will go almost straight up or almost straight down. This makes it almost impossible to fight sometimes. Attached screenshot shows the max range of a spell under this effect, Miasma Slider in this case, but the exact spell doesn't matter. It's about 1/4 or 1/3 of the normal range. It happens on any area, the only way to fix it is to leave the area for the world map and return to it, it keeps happening in the same rooms in the area unless the area is left entirely.

Chris_McElligottPark Feb 10, 2013 2:06 pm administrator ~0030652	Thanks! * When the player's spells are being driven off course by either a windstorm, a repulsor field, or a gravitational field, the player's character now remarks on this in a little floating/rising text popup as soon as it starts happening, and then every 12 seconds after that if it keeps happening. Each popup lasts for 3 seconds to allow for the player to actually see them.
