Why is my crafted spell using only one effect?
Update 7 fixes crafted spells failing to use every effect placed on the spell.
Quick answer
Update to Update 7 or later. NerveLabs lists a fix so crafted spells now use all effects on the spell. Do not confuse that bug with Update 6's separate rule that identical spells no longer stack their effects; identical potions still do.
Early Access note: this page is verified for Early Access Update 7; mechanics, locations and commands may change in later updates.
Steps
- Install Update 7 or later.
- Load the character with the affected crafted spell.
- Check the spell's listed effects and test whether each intended effect now applies.
- If an effect still fails, record the spell composition and report it as an Update 7 issue rather than relying on an older workaround.
Requirements / limits
- The developer confirms the all-effects repair but does not publish affected spell recipes.
- Spellcrafting was refined and rebalanced again in Update 7, so older cost or power advice may be stale.
- Update 6 separately prevents identical spells from stacking effects while allowing potions to stack correctly.
Common mistakes
- Troubleshooting a pre-Update 7 build as if the repair were installed.
- Treating non-stacking identical spells as the same bug as missing effects within one crafted spell.
- Copying pre-Update 7 spell balance numbers into a current build.
