That's a little different from what fury is doing.  The "spell has no effect" don't add up right like they do with fury...

Fury adds up exactly 4 extra rounds of combat.  This shows 15 "effect" messages.  At 6 casts per round, it should have generated 19 "effect" messages since it killed on the 5th cast or 1 for the 6th cast then 3 extra rounds or 18 messages. 

It's to many msgs for 2 extra rounds (would have been 13 msgs) and not enough msgs for 3 extra rounds (19 msgs).

Magma blast also doesn't have an endcast and is not a "chained spell".

I'll figure it out though ;)

eh strange.... since its also not a room spell it makes the message kind of wrong too: The message should be something like... "You have no target!" Actually I'm not sure what the hell it should say but it shouldn't be refering to the room...

If I remember correctly the spell should just allow the damage round to finish and then terminate itself from being active.. The other option would be to terminate the spell at the at the closest damage point possible. However if that was the case I would say it would be more fair to carry over the left over energy to the next round which would be more balanced in line with weapon combat since if you had a spell with say 750 energy usage every 3rd round you'd then get a second hit with it... Ya it would be different to mmud but it might prove to be better.
