Question" Where did the 2 points of spell damage go, or is this working as intended? ---

Note you have 5 less Magic in combat, too. The enemy Crimson Bat might have Cursed away two of them, but I can’t explain the other three. ---

Opponent Bat doesnt have any traits, hmm, might be a bug. ---

Ah, good catch. In that case I suspect the Hero perk isn’t applying properly. ---

Is the Assassin class causing the bug? ---

Well, you only get +5 Magic for using red weapons as Assassin, so I’m afraid the Troops list screen is incorrect and the in-combat one is correct. ---

Is this matter solved; concerning the missing 2 magic points? ---

You’re missing 5 Magic points (14 in combat, 19 out of combat). [Crescendo](http://ashtender.com/gems/weapons/crescendo) scales its damage as: “[(Magic / 2) + 2]”. That works out to be 11 for a Magic score of 19, and 9 for a Magic score of 14. Aside from the out-of-combat display issue I think everything else is working as intended. ---

This is resolved. Your weapon doesn’t match and Crescendo is boosted by Magic at 2:1 ---

I’m not concerned with +5 magic. I am aware of my reading blunder. It is the losing 2 points of magic when I enter battle. ---

I don’t know which two Magic points you’re referring to. I see a loss of two points of _damage,_ but that’s how the weapon scales with the loss of 5 Magic. ---

Good to see it was solved. This also helped me to realise to have Assassins class on in background so I can lock up the perks. Cheers. ---

Are the mana colors displaying correctly pre-battle? I’ve frequently seen hero weapons display the wrong colors when scouting. That might be the cause of the disparity: it thinks the colors are correct for the class boost pre-battle. ---

In my case they were. Crescendo is Purple/Green and I was using the Assassin Class; which boosts Hero weapons using Red mana. I would not receive the boost. ---

I also experience similar ssues. My Crescendo only get 9 in magic, even though it should have more. It only gain one magic when casting the frist spell. After casting the first spell it gain 2 magic as it is supposed to. Enyone else have the same issue?
