Duplication Error

RaichuKFM appears to have cast the Duplication spell (“Append a current Location of the Caster to the casting Apprentice‘s list of Locations.”) twice in the past two weeks, yet - as Quirck points out in GNDT comments - Rule 2.7 states that “Each Location may occur in [a GNDT] list no more than once.”, so this spell will never have any effect.

Given that RaichuKFM has been performing move actions to “move my new Clone”, I’d suggest that these would still be legal, and RaichuKFM’s Location field should now simply be “The Silent Bay” instead of “The Dark Forest, The Extinct Volcano, The Silent Bay”. So far as I can tell, they haven’t taken any actions that required them to be at a location other than the one they’d moved to. I’ve gone ahead and updated the GNDT to correct the Location.

Well there goes a week’s energy. Ah well, at least you tell me this now. I would dispute that the moves applied to the first location, but one energy just isn’t worth the effort.

If you’d have done something different with your week’s Energy, you could propose a refund to see what the peanut gallery think, but I suspect it’s regarded as fair punishment for misunderstanding a rule. (A misunderstanding which would have paid off in your favour if nobody had ever noticed it.)

Relatedly, Scshunt cast “Fizzle” yesterday but didn’t “spend the Cost of Teleport in Energy” to actually Imprint the spell (which is a “may” effect rather than automatic), so I’ve reverted the effect of that Imprint Power, which I think is the correct way to read it. (Rather than forcing them to spend 1 extra Energy which they might not have wanted to spend.)

Nah, I don’t want or deserve a refund; It wasn’t even all done in a week, it just happened to cost me a bit over a Week’s worth of Energy for me all in all, the Crafting and Casting and Moving. I should have read Locations again before I Crafted it, anyways.
