Battle Ability, "Spiritsong" -- Text -- Incorrect Effect and Text -- "Spiritbind"

When the player uses the conjurer ability "Spiritsong", the following text appears over the player's character:

"
Spiritbind
"

Additionally, the following appears as system messages:

"
Your Spiritsong grants you the
effect of Spiritbind.
"

"
You are no longer under the effect
of Spiritbind.
"

These inconsistencies likely resulted from the recent renaming of the "Spiritbind" ability to "Spiritsong".

Please fix these issues so that "Spiritsong" will appear over the character's head when it is used, and "Spiritsong" will be the actual name of the ability in any related system messages.

The corrected texts for what appears over the character and the system messages would read as follows:

"
Spiritsong
"

Additionally, the following appears as system messages:

"
Your Spiritsong grants you the
effect of Spiritsong.
"

"
You are no longer under the effect
of Spiritsong.
"

Another fine catch, Merm. The old status name has been replaced in all instances to match the new ability name. These changes will make their way into 1.19a. Thanks!

I'm curious; if Spiritbind was changed to Spiritsong to avoid confusion, why does the helper-text no longer tell you that you get bound? And if all references to being bound have been removed, why are you still bound when you use it? I'm more confused :(

That's a good question! I was wondering the same thing. New players might be very confused when all of a sudden they stop being able to move. :confused:

Thanks for pointing this out, Moose! The text explaining that Spiritsong also binds you has been added into the help text will go live in a future patch.

Aw, shucks. And here I was hoping you were going to say, "Oh, my! We forgot to remove the part where it binds you! Expect a free-roaming spiritsong in 1.19a!"

No dice?

(Thanks for the fix, though! :P)
