Spells in Battle

This may have been asked and answered but I cannot locate anything on it....

Suddenly, at level 34, I find most of my spells are NOT available when in battle. Why is this? I have to pass multiple times in a battle and wind up losing because I have no spell available... What causes this and how can I fix it?

I'm going to hazard a guess that you recently upgraded to a better deck.
When you equip a deck, you must fill it with cards, young Wizard.

No, that's not true - I have had this deck for some time, and it is is filled with spell cards. But lately, every battle I enter I have NO spells to cast - they are all "grayed out".

Administrator
Having no spells show up, and having spells that are greyed out are two very different things, young Wizard.

A spell is greyed out if you cannot cast it yet because you don't have enough pips.
Did you recently remove a Mastery Amulet?
Did you recently reduce your power pip % chance?

Ok, I apologize for the mix-up - I just described the situation wrong.

No, have not removed an amulet, nor reduced (that I know of) my power pip % chance - in fact I do get power pips fairly often, but still have all my spells grayed out during multiple rounds of a battle.

I don't know of anything I've changed which would cause this.

I'm going to audit your character. I apologize if this logs you out of the game temporarily.

I was able to audit your character and place him in a duel. The cards appeared as they should based on the pips you had.



As you can see, you have two pips, one of which is a Power Pip. Power pips only count as two pips towards your main school of focus (in your case, ice)
You were able to cast snowman (3 pips) without issue.
You were unable to cast blizzard as it requires 4 pips.

How does this differ from what you are experiencing?

(PS I placed a small token of thanks on your account and apologize for the inconvenience of having to audit your character)

Sorry for the question, Prof. Greyrose, in the midst of helping a classmate;

Is an audit the same as reviewing a character that has a major bug? I can't stop saying how thankful that you and Prof. Falmea may have had in helping me in Dun Dura, Avalon, and was wondering if this was how you look into problems anyone has.

Another error you might be doing: check your mana level (the blue globe in lower left corner) A few times I have run into battle with low/no mana, have a line of pips in front of me and wonder why all cards are "dead", then glance at mana globe and do a facepalm. If you are low/out, run into a few blue floating orbs.
