The bosses that reflect but don't show it are really really annoying. The information windows need serious reconfiguring for better dissemination.

Also really the boss color is too hard to distinguish from normal monsters of the red variety. The colors are so close to be almost identical. Perhaps use a real violet (#550077 for example) instead of magenta/pink? Almost no one uses monitors that can't tell the difference between violet and black.

Harden Self from the Ring of the Tortoise isn't quite 3x AC...more like 2.6x.

Random Monster attacks Jindar? Just came back from a dungeon trip and found a Fanatic of Ryoon summoning ghosts and attacking townsfolk. Is this SUPPOSED to happen?

Notice the red arrows indicating the holy cow moment. I blocked (or else how did I counter???) and took 645million!! damage (only 16x my health max). I wonder if this happened because even though I blocked the demonelf was immune to my damage and reflected it somehow?

It seems that my weapon is no longer functional and I don't understand why. It is a Mithril Saber level 39 with the Soul of Captain Emma bound to it. It has an Wind brand and somehow no matter what the monster is (undead, hydra, human etc) they are healed by it instead of taking physical damage. The brand hits them (damaging them as per normal, but the physical damage is translated into healing.)

Switching slots to my level 32 Sword of Balance bound to the 4th Simon (with a tiny chaos brand) gets the same results. WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON???

When my bard is singing that a song with that effect it causes my weapons to heal on a hit with the damage = healed.

Died and was returned to Jindar inside a permanent building (surrounded by permanent stone). Thank goodness I had the ability to teleport or I'd have had to 187 yet another character for no particular reason.

Here is something I don't get. Again my weapons do no damage to MAGIC immunes. It isn't that the brands deal no damage, they take no damage at all. And this time it isn't because of the Heal Song bug because I have my song turned to Light Damage. Im fighting a Giant Mage Elite with Immunity to Magic as its sole ability and none of my 112 attacks deal even a single point. No healing going on but no damage either. It almost seems like the Imps of Greed damage prevention is taking over. However the Missile Song I have works as per normal and damages the thing. I am thinking the code for immunity might be hinky.

Another really odd thing that isn't really a bug but might be a problem. I've noticed certain important magic books are nearly impossible to find. Such as the elusive but oh so needed Restore Stats spell. Restore Status shows up everywhere but its cousin is no where to be found. I've gone through several characters (combined about 100 levels of experience and not found one.) I know they still exist because I have found them on other characters. It does make me wonder if there is something in the code that makes some very unlikely to drop despite their relatively similar depth/value to others. (Note the blackmarket does not carry it either.)

In fighting the Grey Wight I encountered a summoned Phantom that would not die. at -17k hp it was still "Almost Destroyed" and no matter how many more hits it took it stayed alive.

I did finally manage to complete the last part of the current quest (man that last fight was insane and seriously unfair. Turning off weapons? Ok but what about reducing my hp by 1/3rd. Very hard.) Sadly I was not able to capture the Ghost form of Balcia's Soul as there was no way to tell when she was in range of that ability. I wish there was a more precise method than the ones I use now. But yay for completing it and thanks V for adding an end message. It was a nice touch.

Congrats, Gando! About dealing no damage against magic immunes - perhaps you have War Songs Ability - so your melee and ranged attacks take your song's element. This explains healing too, but that part (healing instead dealing damage) should be fixed.

If that IS what it does then it is worse than useless and is actually a huge hindrance. Thanks on both counts. I will be sure to turn that off asap and when I reincarnate I will make sure to NEVER take it again.
