I'll be honest when I say I didn't see this coming.

Something in the area interferes with your spell preparations.

Bug or feature?

Difficult to say without more information.

If you can go back to the room you tried this in and submit a detailed bug report in game (type BUG HELP in game for info on how to do that with various front ends, or just BUG if you are using Stormfront and you can use the pop up window), we'd be able to look into it.

Unless you're just asking if it's intended to be possible that some places won't let you use SRE, in which case, yes, it's intended. Even though SRE is special in many ways, it is still magic, and some places block one's ability to use magic entirely.

That was my question. I didn't want to actually bug the room and assume that I had a right to pop back up wherever I wanted to. This just made it somewhat difficult to solve my situation, since I couldn't very well walk out of the room to SRE.

It's not a bug that SRE fails in no magic rooms, since you are after a fashion casting a spell.

It may be a bug or debateable design choice that the room on a specific basis shouldn't be no magic.

There are enough random no-violence, no-steal, or no-magic rooms that are kind of totally arbitrary and probably leftovers from a time when those were more freely used that I've started BUGging them when I find them just to draw attention to them and maybe get them tweaked. If it doesn't warrant changing I figure no real harm in having tried and nobody's told me to knock it off yet.

anti-magic rooms wouldn't stop CRE from triggering with a DEPART GUILD, right?



Uzmam! The Chairman will NOT be pleased to know you're trying to build outside of approved zones. I'd hate for you to be charged the taxes needed to have this place re-zoned. Head for the manor if you're feeling creative.

Shouldn't. That demonic necromancy is looking pretty sexy now isn't it?

I remember my first encounter with this was during the Great Guildfest Barbecue. Oh memories...
