Shattered Kingdoms

Clearly I was ethereal, all other spells could not land on me. Is this generally with blindness or just a bugged NPC?

She is special, a new NPC spell of ethereal blindness.

There's nothing special about blindness that lets it affect etheral players. But NPCs do have special scripts that can do things players can't. "XXX glows with mystical energy" is a clear warning of a scripted action. So it's possible this is intentional rather than a bug.

I suggest a "typo" at the NPC noting the problem. If it's an error, it'll eventually get fixed.

most likely, since it is clearly a script, the script just doesn't check to see if you're ethereal. Its like if you leave the room when the script fires, it will still hit you even though you aren't in the room for some NPCs. I'd definitly typo and bug log it.

Charm the NPC and use it against others.

The NPC is immune to charm/dominate, and scripts like that cannot be commanded.

It's a script that doesn't check for eth, period. Typo it and Achernar shoudl fix it as he is KD of Empire.

You are wrong and right.
