Glyph spell making error?

[Malfini]

Yes, it's a bug.
When you put some glyphs forming a spell that you already know into the combination slots it won't display the spell description. You can drag them in there again and click "research" as much as you like but it won't display it. Only when you click on save it will say in the system tab that you already know the spell.

And purified glyphs have a golden border

I'm experiencing the same bug. I cannot get a spell description anymore for any glyphs in the 'combine glyphs' window. I put a purified glyph in a slot in the 'combine glyphs' window and it doesn't display a spell description or name. If I press the 'research' button it still won't display a spell description. It won't display a spell description in the 'combine glyphs' window period and I know many other people are having the same problem.

Problems with RESEARCH BUTTON

1) if you research a spell you already know, a message in your system tab will tell you that you already know the spell => OK!

I'm not talking about it. I'm taking about:

2) if I research a new spell made with just 1 glyph (darkness, flame spire, etc...) it works fine

3) if I try to research a spell that needs a combination of glyphs (rock fist, summon rock) it doesn't work. No spell is shown and if
I try to cast it in prompt, it will tell me "you don't know this spell"

So I do think there's a bug with research button.
(by the way, I'm using Win version of the .017 client)

I'd say make sure the glyphs are purified first.  If I recall correctly, a non purified glyph will be missing a green border around it in the inventory slot.  When it's in the process of being purified, there's a grey border, then when it's purified, it becomes a green border.

And purified glyphs have a golden border

The colour border around a Glyph that is purified is different according to which Skin has been selected in pssetup.app :

1. Default - golden
2. Elves - green
3. Stone - appears there is no differentiating colour in this skin but a very busy yet almost transparent sunburst appears underneath the main graphic of that glyph

Note: the current default factory setting is Elves skin... it used to be Default skin

I think I got something. I was doing some testing and found a few changes. You have to have at least rank 1 in a way in order to research a tier 1 spell of that way. I believe now, if you want to research a spell thats tier 2 (say Strength) you have to have at least rank 20 in that way. So maybe, in order to research you have to be able to cast. If anyone have any other info, please clarify.

I have found this to be true.
I couldn't research energy arrow...then got to 20 crystal and suddenly I can...but only that once did it show the description.

[Exor]

Yes. You only get to see the description in the glyph combining window once. (which i find annoying for some reason). At least i'm not the only one who noticed the limitations.

Hi,

I have tested the ablity to make spells with the research button and you can NOT research a spell you are not at the lvl to cast it. So if it is a realm 2 spell and you are not trained to that realm you can not reearch that spell to add it to your spell book.
