Whenever I set the custom damage of a magic book (and that means the flame strength, not the wand damage of course) to anything above 1, it won't ever increase at all, it stays at 1 (even though the number in the item editor says otherwise). This applies to both "Magic Book" and "Magic Book 2" (custom item I created as a 2nd level of the Magic Book to check if the bug was only for the standard book).

IIRC the flame (fire type link weapon) created by the book is always 1 damage (if it's set to make fire). And iirc the flame is always on top of where the magic projectile is but is invisible till the projectile hits anything. But the confusing part is that the flame's hitbox is larger than the magic projectile. Try shooting an enemy that has been change to ignore fire damage?

I created "Magic" Zols and Gels, and yeah, the flame damage takes priority over the wand's damage (which sucks). I therefore had to lower the HP of the Gels to 2, so they would go down after a single strike, otherwise it would cost an insane amount of magic (mana).

Is there any confirmation or word on this from a developer? It would be really nice if the book magic could deal more damage (which would justify the use of several book levels).

This is fixed! Should be available in the next alpha (or you can hop on over to the official ZC Dev Discord and nab the latest nightly there: https://discord.gg/ddk2dk4guq)

I also want to download this build, but I get a "You do not have permission to view the message history of #builds-255" message on discord (first time joining). Can I please get access to it? (username is TwilightKnight)
Someone gave me access by now :-)

Would it also not be useful to have the builds available on the forums here? More people would test the new build, I think

Oh, you shouldn't need to be given server perms to view that, that's a perms error on the builds channel.....
