ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

so this weary battle fatigued adventurer requests Loop Garoo the arcane blade to escort him to a recall portal.

Loop is really a nice guy and promises to protect the weary one. to clear the way he strikes down hostiles left and right. arcane combat is a wonderful asset here. but then arcane combat evokes chain lightning and the game reports that Loop Garoo failed to protect the weary one from being killed by... Loop Garoo.

one wonders: is this bug or intentional?

Half of both ?;)

Anyway next beta arcane combat does not cast chain lightning or flameshock

i reckon Loop will be over the moon with the next beta then
