Lately, I’ve noticed that the Ghoul’s spell no longer affects the target’s Life, although the spell description still says it reduces ALL stats by 1. I searched the forum and the blog but didn’t find any announcement of a deliberate nerf, so I suppose it’s a bug. The spell otherwise still works as usual (it reduces Attack, Armor and Magic by 1, deals 8 damage and destoys 6 random gems). **What you were expecting to happen?** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/6/68f26d27a3df01faa563272c944680c9107546b8.png) **and what actually happened?** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/2X/f/fb54aec1adf366c441ddc09aacd9f78012dbab51.png) **What are the steps to make it happen again?** I’ve seen this consistently every time the spell is cast, from my side or the opposing side, and whether the Ghoul is native to the line-up or was brought to the battlefield by a Summoner. All battles happened in the Arena, of course. Could you please review and advise? Thanks in advance. ---

Ever get an answer? Now I notice the Ghoul isn’t even destroying 6 gems. It removes a few. Although I did see it blow up a Doom Skull on the last spell cast.
