For reasons known only to the Greater Mages and the Immortals, maybe Karovaas...
... if it is Raining or Snowing in the south now, your instrument in Muspar'i will become wet and require a thorough wipe-down before you put it away. That's right, water damage, even though it is not raining or snowing, you're in the middle of the desert, and there is no way to tell if the weather that is not happening where you are could fall upon your instrument. :)
Yes, I bugged it. Talked to Lady Jhustis a few weeks ago about it, talked to Lady Evike again this week about it. For now ... it is an anomaly. Do not take out your precious instruments in Muspar'i without Caress of the Sun or a proper roof. I told the Lady I would pass along the warning.
Me, I am just going to use my spoons in the desert. I like the way the sun flashes on them and the twinkling sound of the sand hitting them anyway...

About a week ago I was playing my flamewood harp under some heavy clouds so I cast caress of the sun. I didn't notice when it started snowing but I did notice that somehow my harp still got snowed on despite the spell which has never failed me before. I didn't have time to look into it then as I had to log off rather suddenly. When I logged back in, my harp was dry and undamaged. Usually, I have to dust my harp off and tune it every so often but I haven't had to do that since it got magically snowed on.

This is correct. Caress of the Sun doesn't make a bubble around you, but it does dry instruments. So while it will allow the instruments to accumulate moisture from rain or snow/going for a swim, (assuming you let it pulse) it will also dry them out for you.

>Huh. In 2.0, it definitely made a bubble.
I can't speak for the code in 2.0 -- my use of bubble was more of akin to air bubble itself, though which is not a feature of this enchante.
Regardless, the instrument should not be remaining wet as long as the enchante pulses. If it is, then submit a BUG.

I don't know that there's anything in the 2.0 version I'd call a 'bubble', however it did have some anti-cold barrier function which was removed in the 3.0 version.

I just looked at the 2.0 version of the code and saw nothing like that functionality. While I didn't do the conversion for CARE, it was a very straightforward conversion and the bulk of the actual functional code is near identical to 2.0.

As long as I've used the spell(the last six months), it's never failed. The first pulse always dried the instrument and it never accumulated any moisture(i.e. it remained dry), for the duration of the spell despite standing in downpours and blizzards. And I've always appraised and assessed my instrument(same harp) after playing. It required either cleaning(dust) or tuning(it was usually sharp), 90% of the time and usually both. Since this happened a week or so ago, it has stayed perfectly clean and in tune. While I'd like to believe that I've gotten so good with it that it stays in perfect tune, it seems suspicious that it's not at least collecting dust.

>I've found my instruments very rarely collect dust and get out of tune. It's a little odd but that's the way it is.
If I'm remembering right from many years ago (probably 2002?), this was dialed back a bit because they were getting too dirty too fast.
I mean, I suppose we can ramp it back up if you guys want, but I doubt very much that is the case. :)

I kind of would like to see more dust. I have it in my scripts to clean it, but I don't think I have ever had to clean an instrument once I cleaned it. Can't speak for tune, I assume I'd have to have a stringed instrument for that (I do winds and percussions).
