The Weapon of Energy spell doesn't seem to do anything.

Code: Select all

c 'weapon of energy' ironwood fire
You begin to chant.
An expensive diamond glows briefly.
Some gem powder glows briefly.
A flash of colour passes down your arm into a blood red ironwood quarterstaff engraved with an eye.

You are carrying:
     a blank scroll (perfect)
     a shimmering ruby spellbook (perfect)
     a blood red ironwood quarterstaff engraved with an eye (perfect)
c identify ironwood
You begin to chant.
This is a blood red ironwood quarterstaff engraved with an eye. It is a medium quarterstaff.
Its weight is about 4 lbs, value is 65 platinum, 2 gold, 1 electrum, 4 silver, 8 copper.
It is of high quality and in perfect condition. It is made of ironwood.
Damage is 1d6+1.
Enchanted to provide '+1' to hitroll.
Enchanted to provide '+1' to damroll.
A brilliant white pearl glows briefly and a wisp of smoke rises from it.
A bright red feather glows briefly.
Am I missing something? I tried hitting some things with it and didn't get any different damage echoes either. Is this just because the flags haven't been implemented yet?

I don't think that element flags are currently working. I've only seen them on one weapon as of late.

I'm not sure of the reason, but this spell has no effects set up at all...in short, exactly as you said, it does nothing right now!

Before I went AWOL we were in the midst of updating element damage applies, so it is possible it was intentionally removed.

Is there another spell that applies elemental damage to a weapon I could compare against? (Flame blade invokes a blade, I need one that would apply something to an object, like continual light does and weapon of energy should.)

Magic Weapon?

It looks like Magic Weapon applies a to-hit and damage bonus (to a weapon not already having such), and those do work. It is my understanding that elemental damage applies are currently being worked on and adjusted, and won't be working for a while yet. Thanks for reporting this, but it can't be fixed until the larger issue of energy damage applies is resolved.
