A new addition to the magic system is now available in Prime and Platinum (TF to follow). The active spell window keeps track of spells on you and keeps a more-or-less accurate countdown of how long the spell has until it expires.

Please note that, due to the nature of DragonRealms' engine and a desire to keep the processes this consumes within reason, this window is not to-the-second accurate. It will update every 10 seconds, or when a spell is cast, or when you do a general PERC.

If you are currently in-game while reading this, you will need to log out and log back in to gain access to the new window.

Special thanks goes to GMs Rincius and Zadraes, both helped me navigate the jungle of playing with the game's XML stream, and to the anonymous player who inspired the project.
