Bug with Curse spell.

If you look closely I cursed smoke. But it cursed my smoke chunk, and also agro'ed the mob at the same time.

Same thing happens with dragon gut bag if you're fighting a dragon and use
cast 'curse' dragon

[Sylvos]

I think the thing being pointed out is - if the spell wasn't targeted at the mob it shouldn't have aggro'd the mob.

Yeah, same thing happens with curse on a non-aggor dragon tho.. it curses your gutag and aggros the mob :P

On a related note, during the Smoke Invasion my group was fighting an ANCIENT Djinn.

Well, I cursed djinn, right? Ended up cursing the djinn shield in my inventory. Yuck. So I curse ancient..

And I cursed my fricking rockcrusher. It is now 8d3. Ebgar did the same thing during the same fight.

That sucked. Sucked bad. I want a refund!

Also, how about making it so cursed or nodrop items can't be cursed again??

[Ebgar]

Agreed!! I got a special rockcrusher too....

just make "curse" and "curse object".

2 different spells, i have only had to curse objects i think 3 times this wipe.
