I Disagree with Foodstamp and Endo since it's been known for an enternity you can beat the spell but the fact remains that once the caster leaves the spell should end, it's an admitted bug by the makers too I think and if it's exploited it's enough reason to kick pplz in the nuts for it.

For it being "known for eternity" the spell can be defeated there were a lot of people saying otherwise.

The very vocal argument was that after everyone fled the field, the spell would continue forever no matter the circumstances. As far as being an admitted bug, you guys convinced the developers that you had tested the spell and that it did last forever after a mage+everyone retreated off the field. I can see where they would call that a bug, but it seems now the spell does not work like you all said.

You guys want the spell gone, changed, fine. But from reading the MP threads on the issue, we lost atleast one player from the community because he was called a cheater and ridiculed for a couple of pages on an MP thread for using this spell. The sad thing being of course, the people pointing the finger had no idea how the spell really worked.

Next time let's check our "jump to conclusions" mat at the door.

From the buglist:

CBT Battlefield Enchantments Battlefield enchantments that affect the whole battlefield for the duration of the battle (e.g. Wrathful Skies, Darkness, Solar Brilliance etc) do not end when the mage who cast them leaves battlefield, even though they should.

This is an 'admitted' bug and applies to MoD. Fixing this bug avoids any need to do anything special to MoD.

by the way you could just as well do the same thing with
something like a handful of mages and and Wrathful skies.

just blink them around the battlefield.
