The Misfires of Relieve Burden (314)

Over several months a number of players have expressed curiosity on why their Relieve Burden (314), a stackable spell, is misfiring when they try to add it to their existing duration. Myself, and others, have chalked it up to their Blessings Lore changing. Except, it started happening to me.

For the uninitiated on the spell, Relieve Burden removes a set amount of silvers from encumbrance. Blessings Lore will increase the amount of silvers that are removed from encumbrance. The common way this spell misfires is when you use a Blessings Lore enhancive, cast the spell, and then remove the enhancive and try to cast the spell again. You are trying to replace a superior version with an inferior version and so it misfires.

What follows is a log of Relieve Burden misfiring on me. Take note that 1) I have 0 natural Blessings Lore in this log and 2) I had no Blessings Lore enhancives on. I don't know if the Invoker is involved or not. I don't think so but I haven't seen a situation where I hadn't used the Invoker.

In the log I...

Show that 314 is currently active on me, go to the Invoker, get spells from the Invoker, go back to my resting spot, spell myself up manually (314 was successfully cast during this), idle for a bit, check my spells (again, take note of 314 being active), and then log out.

I then return 12 hours later...

Show that 314 is currently active on me (take note of the time remaining) and then immediately attempt to cast 314 where it misfires.

[Rone Academy, Alumni Hall West - 24407] (u217005)
The room bustles with the day-to-day affairs of the Academy.  Clerics chant in somber tones to the west, nearly drowning out soft murmurings from the libary to the north.  An excited babble comes from the south, where a line of eager young applicants awaits admittance to the Academy.  You also see a marble arch, a stairway and a cluttered modwir desk with some stuff on it.

The sound of footsteps echoes off the stone floor of the main thoroughfare of the Academy, mixing with the soft voices of passing students.  Portraits of graduates crowd the walls beneath the vaulted ceilings.  A studious �white-robed novice� stands out from those passing as he stands before an intricately carved arch to the west.  You also see some towering dreamstone doors, a carved arch, a polished silver plaque and a polished haon chest lined with velvet.

This quiet corner resembles a calm island amid the bustling life of Wehnimer's Landing.  At the west end, a low, broad dome is visible.  In the center of the square, several benches of polished wood and smooth stone surround a sculpture that stands as a sentinel before the Wehnimer's Museum.  Cast in bronze, the work imparts a sense of peace, calm and protection to the landscaped surroundings.  A gold plaque mounted on a gracefully chiseled malachite base stands before it.  You also see an ironwork gate and The Wehnimer's Museum.

The dome of a large temple rises above this peaceful square, silhouetted against the starlit sky.  The circular building is surrounded by marble porticos and teak columns, and a promenade leads to two pillars, through which the inner sanctum can be glimpsed.  Priests and worshippers wander here and there, engaged in various rituals of devotion or study.  A locked almsbox is securely bolted to an iron pole alongside the pillars.  You also see a glowing white stone and a wrought iron gate.

Several small shops crowd along the street, which is composed of the back walls of the high buildings bordering the central square.  Each storefront vies with the others for street space and the attention of the many travellers who pass through here.  A few traders, hoping to take advantage of some late business attracted by the nearby temple, have set up stands and pushcarts filled with clothing, trinkets and souvenirs.  You also see the clerics' shop.

The distant sounds of the merchants and tradesmen around the shops to the west are muted here.  The cracked pavement, scattered cobblestones, and dirt drainage ditches along the side of the road form a not-so-gradual transition between the busier avenues of the main bazaar and the less frequented, humbler, and more unsavory sections of the town.  You also see a long piece of cord, a long piece of cord, a long piece of cord, a tall black bulwark tower and a low stone gate.

Here in the center of a broad plaza near the commercial area of the bazaar stands the impressive facade of the slate-roofed Moot Hall, where the citizens of Wehnimer's Landing hold various official, religious and social functions.  Facing the square are some of the town's more prosperous shops, still doing business with the many customers who still frequent the streets at night.

Pedestrians and wagon traffic move off in all directions here, some going to the large intersection with South Ring Road, others crisscrossing the square via the bazaar.  Men and women carrying neatly tied parcels or sacks and coils of rope slung over their arms emerge from the wooden facade of the old general store.  You also see a dark-haired half-elven priestess, a mushy black door, the general store, a wide wooden stand with a coil of thick rope on it, a large wooden table with a small plate of steel on it, a long oak table with a long piece of cord on it and a muscular red-armored guard.

A small, shaded park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bright lamplight from the square filtering through the passage to the north to illuminate the area with a soft glow.  A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object.  You also see the Korav disk, the Melvarson disk, the Banderling disk, the Ikeye disk, a vacillating glacier spirit that is flying around, a half-elven invoker garbed in colorful layered robes, some musty white gloves, the Theofanis disk, an irritable aurora spirit that is flying around, a tall black bulwark tower, a mass of charred building remnants and some ornate wrought iron benches.

The Mystery of Tsalin's Manna Bread

For the longest time Tsalin has been dealing with an issue where his manna bread falls off randomly, sometimes immediately after being eaten. What follows is a log of this happening to me. Take notice of me applying manna bread, the duration per spell active, and it immediately falling with no interaction.

[Icemule Trace, Town Center - 2300, 4042150]
The center of the slumbering frontier town is overseen by the broken ice statue of a mule, which rises from the surrounding snow on a plinth of cold dark stone.  The stars' brilliance winks through the ice, casting prismatic glints of light over a scattering of halflings.  Some chatter quietly by a colorful silver-bound barrel emblazoned with a row of tiny grey penguins, while others stargaze on colorful cloaks spread out across the hard ground.  Near the comfort of a smooth dark stone bench, a roaring bonfire crackles merrily, lending its warmth and illumination to the surroundings.  You also see the Zahhak disk, the Fahlo disk, an insouciant astral spirit that is flying around, a king penguin, a vine-carved cherrywood cart with some stuff on it, a penguin-carved raffle stand with some stuff on it, an ice-block raffle table with some stuff on it, a frosty white lantern-topped pole draped with a large banner, a blue and white pavilion and a blued steel wastebin.
Also here: Sensou, Lkyl who is sitting, Ansellie who is sitting, Town Councilor Fahlo who is kneeling, Ineffable who is sitting, Bellesue
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west

>look fah

You see Town Councilor Fahlo the Rescuer.
He appears to be a Human from Torre.
He is average height.  He appears to be immature.  He has dark eyes and olive skin.  He has short, white hair.
He has a crude glaes pipe clenched between his teeth.
He has an old battle scar across his chest, an old battle scar across his abdominal area, an old battle scar across his back, and some old neck wounds.
He is wearing a pure white sack, an old key, a dark wool hooded cloak, a fiery red iceblossom, a duffel bag, some marred leather armor, a rugged linen shirt, a large gold ring, a dark leather pouch, some dark wool trousers, and some rough leather boots.

The Curious Case of Brisker's Cove (port location)

TLDR: The OSA port for Brisker's Cove is too far south in game.

Look at the below map. Take notice of where Solhaven, Brisker's Cove, and River's Rest are. Brisker's Cove is in the middle of Solhaven and River's Rest. Also take notice of the borders for Seareach.

Look at the below map. Take notice of where Solhaven, Brisker's Cove, Fairport, Maelstrom Bay, and River's Rest are. For the most part, Brisker's Cove is in the middle of Solhaven and River's Rest. Further, take notice of where Fairport is in relation to River's Rest and Maelstrom Bay. Of note, there's no indication of just how large Maelstrom Bay is.

Now, finally, look at the below map. This is a player created OSA map (created by me). However, the base "ocean squares" of the map are from GM Retser's OSA map which, as best as can be done, faithfully follows the coastline design of the various maps of Elanith. For the purposes of this, ignore the locations of Brisker's Cove and Fairport on the below map.

The X is where the Brisker's Cove OSA port is currently located. It's most definitely not in the middle of Solhaven and River's Rest. Take notice of the size of Maelstrom Bay and how you have the Viridian Sea and Kestral (e) Sea on the way to Solhaven.

Based on these images I believe that the Brisker's Cove OSA port is too far south. A solution to this issue is that the ocean rooms are not all the same size. The ocean rooms for Kestrel Sea and Viridian Sea could be very tiny while the ocean rooms for Maelstrom Bay could be extremely large. This solves the distance issue, but creates a very warped map. This would also create a size for Maelstrom Bay of it going halfway to Solhaven from River's Rest.

I believe, however, that the proper solution is to move the Brisker's Cove OSA port farther north (the corner of the Kestrel Sea seems like a good spot).
