As you all know there are several areas of HoT that we are trying to modify. Recently we put in a patch that would prevent you from dropping your weapon when casting the spell. As a temporary fix it is working, but you may notice on your first cast that you are still messaged that you dropped your weapon. That message is incorrect, you still have the weapon in your hand, and we are looking into how to squash it.

If for some reason you do happen to drop the weapon, let us know, so we can determine what is going wrong.

In the meantime the work continues on allowing you to be able to tend even with a burned and withered hand. We will post about this as soon as we find the best way to rework that portion.

P.S. For those waiting on my discussion on the Raise spell, I have not forgotten but have been overwhelmed for a time. I will sit down and gather my thoughts soon.
