Manticore Greatsword not working as described

Unread post by sir_blacksoutalot »

I pointed this out in another thread, but as an item issue it should really be posted in this forum. The item named Manticore Greatsword (available from epic item vendor) includes the following description:

Manticore Greatsword
+4 EB
Damage Bonus: 1d6 piercing damage
+4 Diplomacy
+4 Intimidate
Cast "Manticore Spikes" 1 use/day


The piercing damage works fine (so do the skill bonuses). But as for that "Manticore Spikes" spell, there don't seem to be any spell properties at all on this weapon. Right-clicking gives no options, and putting it in a hotbar slot also offers no spell trigger.

I can slot the item easily enough in my hotbar. And when I click the button the first time, it equips the greatword like it should. But when I click the hotkey a second time, the popup dialog offers only these four options:
- Examine
- Unequip
- Drop
- Appraise Item

Also, when hot barred, it equips as it should when I click the button. But it won't unequip. To do that, I need to R-click the hotbar button, then select "Unequip" from a pop-up menu. So it seems like this item is intended to activate a spell—it's just not triggering.

There is no option to cast the "Manticore Spikes" spell as listed in the description. So this item is not functioning as described in game. After plunking down that much coin, it sure would be nice if the spell function actually worked!

This is a very expensive sword to have something not working on.

I would not mind if the spell were replaced with another property but please don't make it something with a visual effect. I love how this sword just looks like a sword not a Christmas tree.
