What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:
Satyr Musician’s spell says “deal X damage to the first 2 Enemies, then steal 2 Magic.” It actually does this: “Steal 2 Magic from the first 2 Enemies, then deal X damage and Silence them.”
This is an important distinction, because it means his spell deals 4 extra damage to each enemy. Instead of 38 damage to the first 2 enemies for me, he deals 42 damage, because he steals the magic before he deals damage.
How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?
Every time.
Ik, but it’s been ages it’s like that, got reported many times and is still like that, it’s also 1 of the reasons yao is so good, his spell is casted at +8 magic from what is supposed to be (unless there’s only 1 enemy left).
Can’t steal magic if the spell damage kills them first. So it makes sense to grab the magic 1st. But yes, it’s a bad description and an inaccurate one.
