GM Estild Fixes Fash’lo’nae’s Gift

GM Estild puts a duration fix on the spell Fash’lo’nae’s Gift (1750). It all started with this post:

Subj: Fash'lo'nae's Gift duration
Does 1750 have a modifier for success roll? The MIU formula is not accurately predicting the 1750 durations. I can give more information if anyone is interested?

Subj: Re: Fash'lo'nae's Gift duration
These casts were sequential with no delays in the first set, and a few seconds of delay in the second set as I was copypasting Spell Active information. There is a <1 second delay between casting and checking Spell Active in the first cast of the second set. The logs have been edited for clarity.

This is a Wizard with 202 MIU ranks. Hopefully obvious for the purpose of testing, but I had no duration of Bravery previous to casting (the shapers in the Sea of Fire are good at making sure to dispel all of my spirit spells…)

For tomorrow, I’m just going to use my 1750 casts to track single cast durations along with the roll that generated(?) them.

1:51 is the duration I see with many spells (including heroism / bravery) when using 1750 with 202 ranks.

Seems like there is something wonky in your first series.

Subj: Re: Fash'lo'nae's Gift duration
I cannot explain the 4:03:55 duration.

The 1:51 duration is correct for a single cast. Since you activated 1750 using MIU, then your MIU ranks are used to determine the duration of the spell you cast with 1750. With 202 MIU ranks, the duration per cast of Bravery will be 202/2 + 1200/2/60 = 111 minutes. Note that the base duration is also halved when using MIU or AS to activate a spell.

Rapidfire effect?

You got the lesser durations when the roundtime was 1s

Please email me the complete log (a few minutes before you rubbed the pin and until after you saw the unusual duration).

Log sent.

Also, I tried another three casts of Bravery with Rapid Fire, and got the correct 1:51 duration, so still no idea.
