Do Oracle's curse function correctly?

[warlordsword0079]

Last time I played WOTR, Ember got Hellfire ray when she reached caster level 15. However, Hellfire ray didn't automatically add to her spell book when she is lv. 15(caster level, witch 9 + loremaster 6). Moreover, my merged angle (dual cursed oracle) haven't got confusion and insanity, even his caster level is already 20. But Ember and MC both got scorching ray and faerie fire (from pranked), why?

Is that a newly happened bug? Or the level 15 means lv. 15 at Oracle and Witch?

Ember needs to be a level 15 witch. Other class levels do not count toward such class benefits.

The level is the curse level specifically. It will only go up when you level up in a class that has the same curse mechanic. It's works the same as animal companion levels and bloodline levels.

Don't know why, but as I reloaded and select elemental barrage for Ember, Hellfire ray was added to her spell book. (I am pretty sure Ember didn't automatically got Hellfire ray when she level up to witch 9+ loremaster 6)
Is elemental barrage suppose to add a spell?

No. It´s a passive ability as far as i know. But i never chose it.

However, they could remove those abilities and spells from the lists to choose from, when they get them anyways later...

Also i rarely use hellfire ray - she has deep slumber which can be right clicked, which is basically all she does in my party. I might switch in some boss fight, when the boss is immune, and if the fight lasts longer than 1.5 rounds, which is rarely the case.

Also some things are inconsistent in the game, so it could be that the ray was added because of the reload. Perhaps You´d need to switch location for it to appear...

There is a bug that still happens sometimes adding mythic levels to the curse level. When that happens you'll get the curse effects early, or not at all (and the power will be skipped). It's an annoying issue.

I know that a while ago there was a bug where if you took multiple prestige classes to stack with a casting class (oracle+sorcerer into mystic theurge + dragon disciple(sorcerer) +loremaster(oracle) as an example) you were not getting the right spells levels. The second prestige class was stacking with the primary casting class for spell levels you took but not with the caster levels given by the first prestige class.
