Infernus isn’t ready to cast so the graphic you included makes sense. It appears the hero isn’t ready either but assume he was full and when you tried to cast nothing happened and the game considered his mana to be spent? Very odd. ---

@Thevc i have described the order of events in my OP… @Redi1 was saying he saw this somewhere but we were having a hard time finding it so i made a post anyway. Then i see Kafka tagged this as Known issue which led us to it 🙂 Yup, that is exactly what i happened 😂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/2/3/23416249dc688e2e41b9e4b08575ff3dfbcfc307.png) > **[All Known Issues - Gems of War](https://gemsofwar.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000497716-All-Known-Issues-Gems-of-War-)** > > A list of game bugs and glitches in Gems of War which the game team is aware of. > New issues are added to the bottom of this list going forward.

Here was my report on the same issue: [[Reported] Unable to select Spell target - #9 by noob](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/unable-to-select-spell-target/59016/9). I don’t remember experiencing it again since then. 🤞 Here’s hoping that continues. ---

It happened to me once as well. Also posted about this here: > [@Critical Bug: Stormcaller Class Event - Unable to cast the Hero's weapon](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/critical-bug-stormcaller-class-event-unable-to-cast-the-heros-weapon/58103): > > Platform, device version, game speed, team share code, and operating system: PC, Steam client 4.5.0.07 x4 [6754,6755,1269,6755,3040,2,2,3,0,0,0,0,14030] Windows 7 (x64) SP1 HP Screenshot or image: Provided.

It happened to me again during the Faction Assault. I was playing fast, and looking at the recording, it does appear I clicked “Cast” very quickly after it became available to click. Slowed down: ---

I really hope that this will get fixed some day! @Kafka, what else can we do to minimize the chances of such things happening? Lowering the game speed from x4 to x3? ---

Nice capture @Voq thank you! I’ll add it to the bug report. @Koromac yeah I suspect slowing the game down a little would help but it shouldn’t happen so frequently to worry about it, depending on what your animation speed tolerance is… I feel like I’m crawling toward death slower than 4x personally 😉 ---

Intresting. This has happened to me 4 times total but all only in world events. In surprised to see it happen in a faction assult since I play those at my personal max speed 😉
