Nexus Clash

Owen Grady attempted to summon a Wrackwyrm. The text read normally, but no pet appeared.

- You focus your hellish magic. There is a thickening of the air and a wave of stench washes over you as the Wrackwyrm materializes, pulsing with unholy power. You spent 30 Magic Points. (2022-09-17 05:07:22).

Edit: Also deducted AP and MP normally.

Edit 2: Later attempted summoning again and it worked normally.

Edit 3: It occured again a few days later.

Same happened to me.

- You concentrate the power of your faith. With an almost-inaudible whoosh, a floating wheel composed of ivory and crackling with power floats into the area. You spent 30 Magic Points to call the Wheel of Righteousness into being. (2022-09-17 14:06:52).

MP gone and no pet summoned.


EDIT: Got energized of MP and tried to summon again. At the second summon it appeared.

Just happened to me while rejuvenating pets, too. Spent the MP, but the pet's AP didn't change.

- Your pet, Bloodberry (a Judgemaster), has been rejuvenated. You spent 15 Magic Points. (2022-09-17 15:16:33).

--Great

- You allow your elemental mastery to carry your call for a servant across the planes. Soon, there is a cry, as if from a great bird, followed by the sudden appearance of an incredibly bright flame, which appears vaguely bird-shaped. The phoenix has responded to your call. You spent 25 Magic Points. (2022-09-17 15:38:11).
- Yukari drew 25 Magic Points from Cordi's largest smoothie. (2022-09-17 15:38:12).

Same happened to me the other dayish. Was tethered to a font, consumed ap and MP (off the font), didn't summon first try. id=10129

I experienced this bug on Clippy. Corpse and MP were consumed, but no skelly appeared.

- You weave your death magicks and solemnly intone words of binding. Soon, a Skeleton rises up, animated by your magic. You spent 10 Magic Points to wake it from the dead. (2022-09-21 02:09:52).

yeah this has happened to me too, usually after a death.

This happens to my lightspeaker as well when summoning a judgemaster. Happened today, can't seem to replicate it yet.

- You concentrate your faith. Soon, with a clicking sound, motes of light begin to appear, followed by whirling gears, which assemble themselves into a Judgemaster. You spent 20 Magic Points to call the Judgemaster into being. (2022-09-27 17:04:53).

MP and AP gets deducted, no judgemaster appeared.

I think I've figured out when this is occurring -- it seems to be on the pet tick.

- You bend your mastery over death upon the corpse at your feet. Suddenly, the corpse emits a fetid breath and a low growl as it stands, transformed into a ghoul by your magic. You spent 10 Magic Points to imbue it with unlife. (2022-09-28 20:33:52).

No ghoul.

Looking at the other timestamps where people say it is failing, it seems to be on or around the pet tick.

Bit more stuff that seems to be related, if it at all helps figuring out the bug.

We were testing a named spell to rename it properly. I set pets to passive, I was hit with the spell, pets attacked anyway (and when I checked they seemed to be on their previous stance).

- You have changed the stance of all of your pets to Passive. (2022-10-02 01:26:43).
- Alexis Rose is almost Booped on the nose and hit for 5 points of electric damage. The attack inflicted a lingering feeling of shock! 10 points of this reduction were due to the fortifications here. (2022-10-02 01:28:14).
- Your pet Sanguine Fire, a Phoenix, attacked Alexis Rose and hit for 7 points of fire damage. Her armor soaked 10 points of damage. (2022-10-02 01:28:14).
- (more pet spam)
- You have changed the stance of all of your pets to Passive. (2022-10-02 01:28:41). (this one worked)

Seems like changing stances near pet tick also triggers this?

More testing:
playing with stances


last one was on the tick, didn't change pets to Agg to Hostiles.


I'd test more but don't feel like counting down the seconds for next pet tick with my shitty 3rd world internet speeds. Anyway, anyone should be able to easily replicate this by playing with pet stances on pet ticks.

OUCH! That is all.
