Unfortunately not. Sunrays are the only ones I know of.


BTW, I came across some faulty stats:

Cost for Tiamat is 8 gems not 5.
Fatigue for Astral tempest is 200 not 127.

There seems to be something magic about the number 127.

Many spells have a fatigue or gem cost of 127 and can also be found on page 127.

* Edit: 127 seems to be the highest displayable number *

Aaaah. Indeed. Well 127 is a magic number (1 less than 128 or 2 to the power of 7), which could be the infamous.....programmer error.

Of course I think someone sent some spies into my web host to instill uprising, so I'll start patrolling and see if I can get them out. Stay tuned...

"15 filthy bugs (Machaka??) have been found and slain mercilessly. This program is now safe and orderly"

For those that care, I allocated too little space for the larger numbers, thus the 127 cut off. The numbers should be better now.

But let me know if anything else isn't consistent with the manual.

Rigor Mortis seems to be incorrect. What other spells did you find that are both rituals and battlefield summonings? I only found that one.

Is there a different battle summoning phrase, to define those sumoning spells that are cast in battle? If so, later would not be a bug but my misunderstanding.
I assume it's the "combat summoning". Note though that I haven't checked the data, just imported it from the excel list of spells from Sunray's site.

Rigor mortis is a battlefield spell, same as Call horror.

Send horror is however a ritual.

All spells can be classed under the above 2 headers.
If you go to "type" there are only those 2 options listed (Ritual, Combat). Class seems to be a "more specific" definition. You can ignore "class" if you like and just search on "type".

And is there a problem with "Send Horror"? It seems to be the same as in the manual, as is "Call Horror". Rigor Mortis, however, is incorrect.

I'm not sure anymore. I searched with a type and class, trying to find ritual spells with a class that doesn't seem to be ritual. I found Call Lesser Horror, a combat summoning spell needing 200 ( ) gems and giving out 0 fatique...
Seems I misremembere the name before.

200 gems in Combat for a Ritual spell huh? Well that's obviously an Illwinter mistake, so I'll just get them to change the game so it's consistent with my......

Ok, ok, I changed the database. Call Lesser Horror should be correct now.
