Look in the middle, and you'll see Sanctuary shutting down for no discernible reason.

>pow
You reach out with your senses and hear glaring streams (19/21) of harmonious Elemental mana coursing through the area.
Concentrating harder on the sounds you hear, you can sense flaring mana (18/21) to the east.
You sense the Drums of the Snake spell upon you, which will last for about twenty-eight roisaen.
You sense the Rage of the Clans spell upon you, which will last for about nine roisaen.
You sense the Sanctuary spell upon you, which will last until you fail to provide mana for it.
As you near to the end of the enchante, you gently let the line of melody dwindle, fading from your grasp into silence.
The dome of light extinguishes as the final notes of music die away.
You sense the Whispers of the Muse spell upon you, which will last for about seven roisaen.
You sense the Harmony spell upon you, which will last for about twenty-seven roisaen.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

well.. there is the part where it says : 'you near to the end of the enchante' which looks like 'old' enchantes that have a timer on them that required bards to periodically restart the 'song'...

so it looks like it's one of those, until you fail, or until the song ends.. cus this aint the song that never ends my friend.

This happens to me with any cyclic. I think it usually happens when I run through a no-magic zone, and don't get the expected "magic fizzles" message.

There's a bug with cyclics that causes part of the cyclic stuff to stop working, while still allowing the main spell effects to continue. I'm not sure what causes it, but perceive is set up to detect the issue and force the rest of the spell effects to end if the problem is detected. If you can find a way to replicate how that happened, I'd be very happy to fix it, since I've been hoping someone could find a way to replicate it reliably for months now.

I'm not free to test right now, but I picked over my logs and found this, which I've never seen before:

"The water gradually stills as the music of your enchante comes near to its end, but a lingering warmth still hangs upon the air around you."

I was in the Faldesu when that happened. Sanctuary was pulsing normally until that line came along, but after that it didn't pulse at all until pow finally shut it down, 35-40 minutes later.

If you want the specific room it happened in, start here:

[Faldesu River]
The rushing waters split around a huge boulder rising out of the river to the east. The rock formation is worn inward where the water has taken its toll, but higher up on the rock garlands of green vines adorn the crown.

...and move ne 4 times.
