Spell Sequencer Bug.

in BGII:EE Bugs (v1.2.2030)
The spell sequencer in special abilities bar, once used, reappear after rest, altough it is "empty" (it casts no spell, and it disappears until I rest again). And it stacks on numbers. (as in, I have 2 empty spell sequencers now)

    Well, I loaded an earlier save (one in which I didn't have the spell memorized yet) and stripped myself of all the items (the only fishy item I used was edwin's amulet) and I can't recreate the bug...

    In my current save it only bugs if I use skull traps in it...

    (the spell is the level 7 one, Spell Sequencer)

    Edit: I found a way to fix it. I just loaded another spell sequencer with 3 skull traps and then I saved the game and removed the sequencer (all 3 of them) with EEkeeper. And the thing is now it works just fine, even if I load skull traps in it.

    I remember something like this happened to Aerie (not Jan oddly enough though) during the transition from SoA to Tob in vBG2... I kinda doubt it but I would be curious to know if this is the same thing.

    I have the same problem, should I attach my character file or saved game?

    I have 4 spell sequencers that do nothing. Once I use them it disappears, but when I rest again it comes back. If I cast spell sequencer and save 3 spells, sometimes it adds a separate icon that doesn't go on the stack of 4, sometimes it adds it to the stack and increases it to a stack of 5. Only the first usage of spell sequencer in the innate abilities menu works. After it is used once, the rest of them are useless again.

    @franknozly, @ryuken87: Does the spell sequencer actually fire the memorized spells on the first invocation?

    Go ahead and read Gate70's post above and upload/attach any/all of the saves/information he's got there for assistance.

    Then @ him and Tresset to see if they can figure out what the heck is going on. :)

    Ideally, you should cast Spell Sequencer and load the spells, which will then create the spwi710d innate ability; using the innate ability removes itself from your character. It sounds like the spwi710d innate ability is not being removed although how this happened I do not know.

    Perhaps if you were to attach a save game file containing the seemingly-broken sequencer we could look into it.

    Don't ask me. I get this bug too and I am just as confused by it... I suppose I should look into it to see if I can figure it out...

    Edit: It appears that the empty extras of this spell are being restored by a rest. No idea how they got there in the first place though. Although... If memory serves I first noticed the empty extras while I was in the underdark in SoA. It would not surprise me if this had something to do with drow form or possibly something else that happens down there.

    @ryuken87 Do you ever use a wild mage? I am asking you because you seem to be the most active person other than me who has noticed this issue.

    I ask this because I noticed that when my sequencer has a wild surge it seems to be replaced with a second sequencer upon rest without me actually re-loading and preparing another one. This may actually be a separate issue since the sequencer that appears after rest is fully loaded and will function as expected once used.

    @Tresset I've experienced the bug mostly with my sorcerers during BP (since that's where I've mostly used sequencers).

    @Gate70 I believe that the issue I found with surging sequencers is actually unrelated to the empty sequencer issue. I have two saves in my wild mage run; one from before I noticed the issue and one from when I first noticed the issue. The save from before I had the issue is immediately prior to my first chat with Adalon. The one where I noticed the issue is after completing the drow city and when I was about ready to make way to the surface. I will upload them in case anyone thinks they can figure out what went wrong. In my case I am only noticing the issue with the 7th level Spell Sequencer.

    "Comet test" is the one from before noticing the issue and "Stark" is from after noticing the issue.
