**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?**  
Exploding Gems doesn’t seem to trigger with anything else. Currently possible combinations of the spell are:  
Lose 4 Attack  
Deal 5 Damage to all enemies --Also not actually possible in the end.  
Lose 4 Attack/Extra Turn ------Need to double check this one actually. --Yeah this was wrong. My bad.  
Deal 5 Damage to all enemies/Extra Turn  
Explode 6 Gems

**What are the steps to make it happen again?**  
Use Nobend Brothers Spell

**Do you have any screenshots or video you want to share with us so we can see the problem? Attach them to your post!**  
Hard to capture in a Screenshot, sorry ☹

I do struggle with the punctuation on that card. I figured I’d let others determine what all it does, and then go from there.

I thought it would do one of the following:  
Lose 4 Attack, extra turn.  
Deal 5 damage, extra turn.  
Explode 6 random gems.

We’ve pushed a text fix out.

What Nobend Borther are doing is:

Reduce Attack

Or

AOE damage with extra turn

Or

Explode gems

The spell chooses one of the 3 effects to activate.

Yup, @Nimhain explained it in chat. The actual combinations are:

Lost 4 Attack  
Deal 5 Damage / Extra Turn  
Explode 6 Gems

EDIT: And Nimhain beat me to it 😛

I never found the text confusing in any way, the caps letter **OR** made it obvious enough what were the three possible spell effects.

</div>

“All enemies lose 4 Attack.  
OR Deal 5 damage to all  
enemies. Gain an Extra  
Turn. OR Explode 6 random Gems.”

The issue for me was the full stop after “enemies” it makes it look like it was two effects that had 2 possible alternatives. Lose 4 Attacks OR Deal 5 Damage  
(and then)  
Gain an Extra Turn OR Explode 6 random Gems

That was how I read it at least.

I had this same issue. The period made me think it was 2 of 4. I’d suggest semi-colons between the OR’s to help break things up and make it clearer.

We realized that ourselves this afternoon, and we had a text fix waiting to go out with 2.0, but we just pushed it out early to avoid any more confusion (the text fix that is, NOT 2.0). I agree… you could have read it a few different ways.

Or change the middle one to: "Deal 5 damage to all enemies and gain an Extra Turn. "

Though they’ve pushed out a fix now, so it should be fixed soon.

My hopes raised and then you crushed them swiftly. Please stop doing that, it hurts every time.

Perhaps too early… 😉

If you REALLY want to read between the lines of his post, he implies that there isn’t another patch/weekly event before 2.0 😛 But… yeah… keep expectations low is probably best. I don’t think that’s actually what he meant.

EDIT: Also I’m not sure it’s fair to Sirrian to critique his posts so thoroughly ☹

FYI, @Sirrian, looks like in your haste you left out the space between “enemies” and “and”. It currently reads “to all enemiesand gain”.

_Ahem_ That’s what I get for editing the text directly on the server, using notepad…

Are the odds 33% of each effect, or does one of the brither’s effects have a greater chance of happening?
