**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I was attempting to use the Watcher to drain the enemy’s mana. This is, according to the spell, supposed to happen when the Watcher hits an enemy with a status effect. Entangle, being a status effect, should trigger this mana drain. The damage and minor splash damage both occur, but the mana drain is not triggered.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
I noticed it early this morning (12/5/18), but I have no idea how long it’s been going on. It is very consistent, any time the Watcher is used on any creature with a status effect. (Confirmed with Burning, Disease, Entangled, Faerie Fire, and Frozen. I did not have time to confirm the rest of them.)

**Steps to make it happen again**

1. Give an enemy a status effect.
2. Cast Watcher’s ability.
3. Profit. Or not, in this case.
