chicken cheat & spells
   

I'm playing 1.15, after crashing quite frequently in 1.16a, and I'm having a hell of a time with spells. I can cast any sort of non-attack spell, but any and all attack spells (up to level 5, which I am currently) fail to go off, even if I've actually found/bought the runes.

I used the chicken cheat at the beginning, could that have screwed something up? has anyone else had problems with attack spells after doing that? I'm about halfway through the game so would rather not have to restart, but I've built my guy as a mage and it's a tad bit pointless when I can't even use fireball or anything

and while I'm here, has anyone gotten some of the secret runes (specifically ones that aren't UW or the walls cheat) to work on the 1.15 american version?

Try raising your casting skill, so that you can cast the higher spells. Contrary to popular belief,( ) Spells you can or cannot cast are not judged by your player's skill or XP, but by your casting spell.
What are your player's details?

don't remember my exact casting skill, but I'm able to cast any level of spell now from what I can tell, it's only the direct attack spells that I can't cast - lightning bolt, fireball, magic missile. I can cast the incineration aura, fire wall, etc. just not those "bolt" type spells that I named.

Maybe you don't have the "projectile" rune?

nope, I both got it from the chicken cheat and then again from one of the dungeon areas.

Dang.

Only thing left that I can think of would be to make sure you're casting them correctly.

Try precasting (hold shift) magic missile, report here what comes up.

tried precasting magic missile, fireball, and lightning bolt. it just makes the standard fizzle sound and no spell is saved or cast.

guess I should just start a new game without using that chicken cheat thing, and see if that's what did it.

If there is a fizzle sound, that means that the runes have not been cast correctly or that they have been cast in the wrong order. (Therefore no spell, and a fizzle sound.)

P.S Sorry if i'm insulting your intelligence here, but it's just an idea that I had.

yeah, but it's about impossible to cast the runes incorrectly when you cast them in the order that's on the screen, they light up in the correct order, and give the correct sound

I just had a thought, you have got enough mana to cast high levelled spells, haven't you?
