Luna's MP Absorb is broken

[Jamiboy]

Everytime I cast Sprite's MP absorb it results Sprite taking damage and Sprite's mana goes to zero. I even went to test it to first rabite's in front of Potos village. Same result. Sprite takes damage and mana goes to zero.

Please fix, best spell in game :)

it's actually not broken.... magic resist was broken in the original.

level luna up some, it'll work.

i dont have a problem with it at all, works for me.

I know those "undead" enemies cant be life or mp drained and the result is the spell dealing damage/mp damage to your character instead.

So I tried it on a lvl 1 rabite. And mushroom. It should work.

Same problem, made own thread because guys like Tarn or Fletcher are not able to read your initial post...

It works just fine here aswell.

I'm going to assume that if you use it on something that does not have any MP it does this bug? I've been using this ability nonstop but I always made sure the enemies have MP before I do it.

Some enemies gave me only 1, while the mage/ghost type gave me alot of mp.

if i drained all the mana i dont get anything (afaik) but i never got dmg when i used that skill

I tried it also using it on enemy that I analized with sylphid and it certainly had MP. So far I have tried it on many different enemies and always end up with 0MP and damage taken for Sprite.

This bug is REALLY weird... really really weird. Hey uhh can you go to the mountains where Sage Joch is at and use it on the flowers there and tell me if you still take damage? That's what I used it on a lot and it always worked for me.

That's odd. Most ghost enemies do what you're saying regular enemies do, because undead and restoration spells are reversed.

Try unequipping all your gear on Popoi and casting it on something while naked. Could be an effect from an item you've got equipped without realizing it?

Obviously it could be a bug, but trying to figure out if it isn't is important too.

LASTLY: Square Enix doesn't read Steam forums. To report the issue, you have to go through their support site. It totally sucks. I went ahead and found the link to the proper Secret of Mana for issue reporting, though.

Hope that helps.

Ever since I got Luna I have tried casting it plenty of times and during that time I have completely switched my gear 3 times. Same result every time. That support site looks very bad, but oh well thanks for linking it I will report this there.
