Im just wondering what the specifics are behind cast message A and B. I see most messages in the cast message B spot but sometimes see 1 and 0 alternating in the cast message A spot. What is the reason for this? and what is the difference between normal and not normal message styles? Examples would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

cast msg A isn't used. cast msg B defines the message used. normal message defines what type of message is used in cast msg B. if it's a normal message, the message should be formatted so that the spell name is inserted somewhere, e.g. "You use your %s and skewer %s for %d damage!" if it's not a normal message then the spell name will not be one of the variables, e.g. "%s is struck by a dark force for %d damage!"

I have to cast twice to get the spell to take effect. ex.. i have a spell called shield casted on me.. giving 5/5 ac.. now i have a spell i just learned called greater shield.. I have to cast greater shield twice.. once removes the spell shield and once again to get greater shield to take effect... any ideas?
