Me tired but thinking this is a bug in the message style... will have to look up more info later... urrrr sleepy sleepy...

[Krusty]

yea less of a bug, just more of a message thing.

[The Crazy Animal]

Well it is a bug in the message style...

Line 1:
Dancing blades slice %sthe foe for %d damage!
Line 2:
Dancing blades slice you for %d damage!
Line 3:
Dancing blades slice %sthe room for %s damage!

is the messages for dancing blades....

Spell message style A is:

Line 1 - Caster sees on success: You cast %s at %s for %d damage!
[spell][target][damage]

Line 2 - Target sees on success: %s casts %s at you for %d damage!
[caster][spell][damage]

Line 3 - Room sees on success: %s casts %s at %s for %s damage!
[caster][spell][target][damage] -- Note here the %s (and not %d) for damage

In this case its using message style B rather then A

And in this case the %s in the messages for dancing blades are supposed to be ignored..
