There's a messaging bug I saw today with BOS:
R>cast
You listen intently to the air about you before voicelessly calling the ever-changing storm.
You contribute your harnessed streams to increase the pattern's potential.
The air around you stirs in response crackling with untamed energies as a bolt of lightning strikes at a quartz gargoyle!
The blazing lightning smashes into its chest, causing it to light brown in agony as swaths of flesh are instantly vaporized, leaving grotesquely charred holes that reveal the thud beneath.
A quartz gargoyle grumbles and falls over with a THUD.
Roundtime: 1 sec.
As funny as it is to think of a gargoyle "light brown"ing, that just seems odd. And the flesh vaporizes, revealing "the thud" beneath?
Not sure if this bug is BOS specific or related to core magic issues so I posted it to the Bard folder.

Blarge. Before I dig into this too far could someone let me know if:
a) This happens with other constructs
b) Other spells.
I suspect both are true in which case it sounds like me and core magic might have to dance again.

This is happening on quartz gargoyles with STRA at least:
>cast
You gesture at a quartz gargoyle.
A crackling yellow haze forms up around your body, quickly pooling up into a small, cohesive cloud in front of you. It quickly lurches forward in an erratic bolt at a quartz gargoyle!
The cloud careens into its abdomen, yellow sparks flying as thin holes pierce flesh and thud.
Roundtime: 1 sec.
Haven't tried on other constructs, yet.
