You can find it here (http://board.flashkit.com/board/showpost.php?p=4171958&postcount=23); scroll down a bit to the screenshot.

And there's the beautiful primordial Otyugh art.

Is it normal for it not return a quantum if you click on it and click cancel? I don't want to open a bug report unless I know that this is abnormal behavior.

[gutsyDuck]

It's normal,
each time you activate capacity you pay for it, even if you cancel.
the only time you get your quantum back is when you cancel a card being playd from your hand.

This is normal. Creature spells will not return the quantum if canceled, but spell cards will.

[Nume]

Just to clarify, the reason for this is that giving the quanta back leads to an exploitable bug where people can use abilities and still get the quanta back through lag/fast clicking, so Zanz made it so that you never get the quanta back for ability use.

How does that happen exactly?  Anyone with programming knowledge can explain?

How does the computer/program not stop something from happening immediately.  Do computers have the ability to do things simultaneously and how does the program not just completely crash when something like that happens?

Even with multiple processors, doesn't "A" have to happen before "B" can take place?

[Nume]

I presume it has to do with using the ability, then clicking cancel before the program executes the command to make the cancel option disappear, so it has already used the ability but the person triggers the refund by clicking cancel after. This only works generally if you can make the game lag. Again, this isnt possible because of him fixing it though, or else I wouldnt post about it .

I'd also like to point out that this problem is not limited to creatures; try using Lobotomizer and cancel its effect to see what happens there.  Bottom line:  plan ahead before taking action.
