100 magery = fizzled recall?

Am I supposed to fizzle recall at 100 magery?

I don't ever remember this happening.

I'm pretty sure you can't fizzle lvl 4 spells after 64.1 skill. You sure you were on your gm magery char or didn't have something in your hand targeting a runebook?

I think that I fizzled recall with 80+ not too long ago... maybe something is amiss with the calculation?

I once fizzled a mini heal with GM magery.
More often I will fizzle a 6th circle.

You fizzle recall when attempting to open a runebook after recalling from it before the spell goes off.

No regs consumed though.

Using items while casting will result in fizzles, regardless of the circle. Runebooks, potions, whatever. Fizzling mini-heal was probably the result of you trying to chug at the same time

However, there is small window of time during casting that you can still use items.

I only have one character at the moment that even has recall so I'm sure it was GM magery. I wasn't opening anything nor did I have anything in my hand and it consumed regs.

Is this a bug?

i have gm mage and have fizzled with g heal, mini heal, cure and recall
no biggie.

A fizzle on spells like this is usually the result of the casting becoming invalidated somehow, be it from using an item possibly, or a very unexpected change it the circumstances of the character; Death would be an example of this.

You should never fizzle recall due to lack of skill as a GM Mage, there must have been some other factor at play here.

Auto searching pouches will also cause this. Like if you just picked up someones pouch and were trying to recall out, but it was checking the pouches, you will fizzle.

I can guarantee I did noting out of the ordinary. I went to my bank, opened the bag then began to cast recall... I then clicked on the rune to my house and fizzled and consumed 1 of each recall reg.

While it's not active on the server at the moment, all circles except 1, 7, and 8 had a minimum 1% failure rate at GM skill. The link to the guide that shows the minimum skills for each circle as well as notes about the 1% failure rate: http://web.archive.org/web/199911160432 ... m/mage.htm
