Some spell related bugs in the latest version (35.10)

[velehal]

Save against Chromatic Orb negates the damage although the description says that the successful save should prevent only the negative effect and not the damage. 

Scroll of Larloch's Minor Drain shows old version of the spell. But the spell works correctly and the description in the spellbook is also fine.

Another small bug. Power Word: Sleep should now be from Enchantment school but the sroll still says that it is a Conjuration spell but invoker can't learn it.

Spell Ice Knife deals crushing damage but the spell description says that it shoud deal piercing damage.

Spell Strength of Stone is bugged. It can be cast on other persons but the description says that it should affect only the caster. More importantly when it is cast on the caster it mostly does nothing, doesn´t raise the strength or restrict movement. Sometimes it works, when it is cast on other person it always works.

Thanks for these.

• Ice Knife is fixed locally, will be in 35.11 (and ToF beta 9).
• Strength of Stone and Chromatic Orb were fixed in ToF beta 8 but I haven't had a chance to roll those fixes to SCS yet. They'll be in SCS 35.11.
• I can't reproduce the bugs with scroll descriptions. Do you have any other mods installed? (It's possibly a library fix on my local version that hasn't got to the public release yet.)

I have other mods but they should not influence spells. Just NPC Project, Tweak Anthology and some minor mods.

Going into the weeds a bit: the description of a spell lives in a certain string ref (strref) in the file 'dialog.tlk'. The spell file itself references that strref. SCS reads the strref assigned to it and changes it to include the new spell description. In the unmodded game, the exact same strref is assigned to the scroll description. If the spell and scroll descriptions in your game differ, something must have reassigned the scroll description to a new strref.

Do you know how to do a WEIDU change-log? If so, could you run one on SCRL84.ITM ?

[velehal]

My WEIDU change-log is here attatched. I´m afraid that it is all I can do.

Stone Fist doesn't grant bonus +2 to AC. When the spell is cast, AC is not changed and I don´t see any bonus even in AC modifier decription.
