ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

In description said that this purging fire work on enemies while in reality it spread on escort too.
Lost escort because of that.
Bug or something?

Purging Staff ??

I think there's a fixedart staff that gives you a free cast of Plaguefire spell. Or whatever it's called.

And yes OP if you cast AOE skills & spells and an escort is in the way you will damage them. Even if you just shoot a projectile they could walk in front of it after and get killed. It can be a good tactical move to switch places with them before attacking. Or even cast a spell on them like phase door or banish to move em out of the way to safety.

No, that's not the point I meant.
When enemies died from Plagufire they explode - that's fine.
But description said that it spread on ENEMIES which isn't true, this is how that escort got major damage.

Might want to make a post about it in the bug forum then. They recently changed another item which caused similar problems, it was these artifact boots that left a trail of fire and would damage & kill friendly minions. last patch made it so they only hurt hostiles.

"Plague-Fire Sceptre" ! ah
