Going through the Bard spells with Discern, I noticed a bunch of strange things. I'll list them by spell.
From Pyre, with Will on me:
> This spell uses relies on your targeted magic ability, but it cannot be targeted. This spell does cold and cold damage. It affects yourself, other adventurers, hostile creatures, and some objects.
Three things. First is the "uses relies" bit, which should probably just be one of those. Second is "cold and cold damage"; I'm pretty sure it does fire, cold and piercing. Third is that I don't believe it affects the caster.
More from Pyre:
> By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a venerated savant in your abilties as a caster.
"Abilties" should be "abilities". Also, those numbers are wrong. I can cap at 520 TM, which is a far cry from the 750 it claims. Pyre's mana numbers have been fluctuating weirdly, though, so this might be caused by that.
From Discern ABH:
> This spell uses relies on your targeted magic ability, but it cannot be targeted. This spell does cold and impact damage. It affects yourself, other adventurers, hostile creatures, and some objects. It requires a minimum of fifteen mana streams, and can expand to a maximum of sixty mana streams woven into it.
So we've got the same "uses relies" thing and the "affects yourself" thing. Also, ABH does spirit damage. Do spirit attacks come in damage types like that?
From Discern BOS:
> By the time you have mastered this spell, you will be ranked as a genius in your abilties as a caster.
I can cap it now, with 520 TM, but the discern is claiming 600.
From Discern Dema:
> This is a non-battle spell that can be cast on an area or group. Non-battle spells have significantly longer preparation times than battle spells.
Dema has a 10 second prep time, so either that's a bug, or this is wrong to call it a non-battle spell.
>>Typos
Good catches. Fixed.
>>Max mana
Because of how PM factors into your skill, the number you get from DISCERN is a maximum. You may cap it sooner if your PM is much higher than your spell skill. Remember also that feats can increase your skill beyond its base value.
>>Dema has a 10 second prep time, so either that's a bug, or this is wrong to call it a non-battle spell.
DEMA is a cyclic, so the non-battle part is actually the bug here. Those will pop up now and then, feel free to REPORT or BUG them (once release happens).
