Let's Play Caster of Magic e3-10: "Did you just summon Crack's Call?!" (Master of Magic DLC)

Cracks Call is an extremely powerful (yet "Uncommon") Nature spell that targets the land underneath a target. In base MoM (it might have changed with CoM) it has a 25% chance of destroying any non-flying non-incorporeal unit on top of that tile and everything they're holding. Permanently. All items destroyed, the unit cannot be resurrected. (Incarnation still works, so Torin wouldn't be as affected).

I. HATE. INSTANT. DEATH. It is a cheesy way for AIs to deal with PCs in any RPG and deserves all of the ire I can give it. There's a reason why I removed it in Archer Force, and you can see it here; it is only supposed to have a 25% chance of success and worked about 50% of the time. My luck is generally abysmal when it comes to instant death, so that sounds about right.

Note: Focus Magic isn't bugged, it was a separate ability on Torin (Battle Mage) that let him regen MP.
