NOw the Compost spell is rather unique. Its now really two spells but its rather buggy currently. TO use it to compost things on the ground works as before except for one very important fact. To cast it you must type CAST AREA. This will compost things on the ground and you can do so at really low power but I needed to do it at 45 power to learn UTILITY skill from it. THe real problems arrise when you use the second ability of the spell (target ability). The spell is said to be Non-Battle Single-Target but this is not true. Here is what happens:

If I prep compost 30, cast Skaen (he's a moon mage who was there with me in test as we experimented with some spells) whenever I used CAST SKAEN I backfired badly with anything over 15 power. But with 15 or less It would cast at him. This was the result all the time.

>cast skaen
You lift your right hand, forming your fingers into the shape of a vulture's talons.
With the deep, hissing growl of a hungry vulture, a cascade of deep purple streams of energy come into being, forming up to swirl menacingly around Skaen, clawing and grasping at his body!
The streams of energy strike his shadowy arsenic buckler harmlessly.
The streams of energy barely graze his Northwall Trail, Wooded Grove, causing the spot to briefly turn a pale grey!
Roundtime: 1 sec.

Notice the last line before the Roundtime, This portion Northwall Trail, Wooded Grove was the room description where we were at. Intersting to say the least. SO then I tried to target the spell, since that seemed rather useless and buggy. I would prep compost 20, Target gryphon, but did not get the final target message but when I cast it cast the spell at it, no damage ever happened no matter how much power I put into the spell. Now its obvious this part of the spell simply does not work currently. WHen it does I will see what its actually supposed to do.

<<Ranger bugs probably belong in the Ranger folders, where the Ranger GMs will see them, unless all 3 of these posts were over-arching magic 3.0 issues?>>

Everything I put in here is magic 3.0 issues. And is also posted in the ranger folders since I was told over there to post it all here too. Thanks
