You are too exhausted to complete the spell.

Since when does PE factor into spell casting and is there anything you can do to keep the PE from going into the negatives (aside from the obvious of stopping attacking) so something like this doesn't happen? Should the code allow for negative PE?

You shouldn't be able to get negative PE unless you did something particularly weird, like MAYBE removing a +PE magic item when you were already at zero. How did you happen to get -PE in this instance?

it depends on what spell you are casting.

Some take pe to cast, like holy word.

cms doesnt tell me what you're casting so I don't know if it falls into that category or not. If its something like magic missile...then I dunno, maybe its a new feature.

My PE dropped to negative when I was in the middle of physical combat with the NPC (due to cabal skill LF or martial arts) and I tried casting magma spray after being rescued by the elemental. This has happened twice, though I figured before that it was just a feature of the new combat system draining PE.

Not wearing that circle of flames or veil of fine mesh, are you? Those used to suck a small amount of PE out of you and do weird things...I don't remember them ever dropping me negative though.

CoF is mana, not PE.

Uggggh, if you say so. I remember it disappearing from my finger after I ran out of PE, because it was sucking out my PE. . .

..but I'm old and senile.

It wasn't due to the wearing or removal of an item, it was due to physical combat.

What skill or portion of combat caused it?

Grrr... now I want to check my logs to find out. I had it poof on Fepel and Ghent more than once because of this.

As for the combat, it was a certain cabal skill from a monestary.
