Shattered Kingdoms

Is this spell meant to hit grouped teammates that are flying? And why does it give me the impairment message when casting?

Please post a log snippet here.

You fight a battle of inner will.
You utter the words, 'zabrahpdjatz'.
The earth trembles beneath your feet!

Check.

Morovik stops flying.

Morovik mounts a silver-winged pegasus, and starts riding him.

You fight a battle of inner will.
You utter the words, 'zabrahpdjatz'.
The earth trembles beneath your feet!
Morovik misses a fire elemental.

Bug No damage output but considered attack against PC.

Hmm.. this seems to be a weird edge case interaction. Earthquake actually targets everyone in the room, but it just doesn't do any damage if you are flying. But maybe it is enough to trigger the pegasus's AI to land while fighting... Did the pegasus actually take any damage?

And this is only happening if the pegasus is in the group with you?

No damage and was flying. It seems like there is no check for people being on flying pets. I didn't check without the group. Figured it would be the same if it's hitting him grouped.

I asked because in the 'Take 1', I don't see the pegasus in the group. In the 'Take 2', I do see it in the group. But this is the opposite behavior that I would expect. If the pegasus is in the same group as the caster, then a spell casting should not trigger it to land.
