Discovered Lightshow from Void Scripture with excess Mana to cast a copy of it.
Then I played the Light Show I originally Discovered.
It didn’t cast 3 times as it should have had, but it cast only twice as if it was the first time it was casted.
When Rommath casts Lightshow it keeps on stacking, so it should have stacked here as well, no?
I assume that’s because YOU did not cast the first Lightshow; it was cast on your behalf by Void Scripture.
This does seem inconsistent.
Yep, that’s why I pointed it out.
It probably means to work like Rommath does, but it slipped by through play testing.
It’s not game breaking but I wanted to put it out there.
I’m not so sure.
I would think that Rommath shouldn’t work either, because it’s casting the spell, not you…
Maybe.
But one of the 2 has to change to keep it consistent. That’s for sure.
All spells that come from minions act as though the player is casting them. If you ever get a chance, watch the original Yogg-Saron casting spells. Things like Blastcrystal Potion will destroy one of YOUR mana crystals, mana generation spells like Innervate and Biology Project will give you mana, Binding Heal will restore health to your hero, etc. Now, those examples could be hand-waved as “Well, they HAVE to happen to you, because Yogg doesn’t have mana and the hero’s health pool is different from Yogg’s”. Why do twinspells and twinspell-adjacent cards (ex. Extra Arms, First Flame, Twin Slice) get added to your hand? Because in an update (can’t remember which one), they changed them to work like that. So, you WERE correct that it used to be considered the minion casting the spell, and not you, but they changed a bunch of other cards to the opposite way, so this interaction should work accordingly. Any generated effect should act as though YOU have cast it.
PS: I came to report the same bug, and my “essay” above is why I was confused lol.
I came to report the bug with void scriptures, but it also isn’t stacking off off Vexallus + lightshow right now either, and I know that used to so something isn’t working.
