[B43] Some magical classes can betray escorts

Arcane Blade with Psionic/Dreaming unlocked: Arcane Mindstar

This may not be a bug. As an Arcane Blade, if you overwrite your manasurge rune and don't train any spells, you can betray escorts like I did with the character above. I like that you can do this, because it's such a challenge to play a class like Arcane Blade without any spells trained (though I got lucky with both Telekinetic Core and Tooth of the Mouth, which made the game pretty easy until I stopped paying attention and got myself killed). Some classes - like Temporal Warden - will never be able to betray escorts because they have innate spells that cannot be untrained (like Spacetime Weaving). I imagine Undead won't be able to betray escorts either, because there's no way to remove their runes.

clever use of game mechanisms, not a bug

Awesome. Thanks.

I don't see anything thematically wrong with an Arcane Blade ditching magic and learning from Zigur.

It's hilarious, but seems reasonable. I was wondering if anyone could do that.
