Holy Light Lie

[Stickmasterluke]

I thought I was being clever when I made a deck intent on injuring myself with spells while having Jade Shield equipped.  My plan was to make my element mark Darkness and then use six Holy Lights on myself.  The card Holy Light's description says "Heal the target for up to 10 HP’s. If the target’s element is death or darkness, damage is dealt instead."  In the test run of my deck, the Holy Lights healed me instead of dealing ten damage to the enemy when I had mark of Darkness and Jade Shield on.  My plan was foiled.  I don't know if the Jade Shield had any effect in this, or if the Holy Light's just don't deal ten damage to yourself when you have the mark. Either way, I think that using Holy Light on yourself with the mark of Death or Darkness should deal damage, and with a reflective shield, deal the damage to the opponent.

EDIT: I do not know why there is a 31st card in the deck generator.  There is not supposed to be a 31st card in the deck.

This has been reported and tagged as not a bug multiple times.  The simplest explanation for this behavior is that the player controlling the Element of is wielding that Element; they themselves are not .  If you want a different explanation, then I cannot provide you with one; it simply works as intended.

Okay, thank you.

And to the rest:
Holy Light damages Death or Darkness creatures e.g. Voodoo Doll, Black Dragon. Holy Light WAS reflected by Jade Shield, but now, it isn´t. It heals all players.

The deck code now includes the mark (here 8pt, added in Patch 1.27), but the deck image generator hasn´t been updated yet, but this is planned here. (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,21872.0.html)

I'll update the script, and make sure old format still work.

Code: [Select]

[deck mark=MARK author=AUTHOR]...[/deck] will still work, but the mark will be optional.
The mark code, if present, will have priority over the tag mark.

Don't modify your decks unless you don't mind having a black card until this is fixed.
