BESCORT edit for Astral Travel

[Aurayn]

any way to NOT drop harnessed mana if the moongate spell fails and to refocus and recast on the shard?

[bescort]>prepare mg 5
Your eyes darken to black as a starless night as you prepare the Moongate spell.
>
[bescort]>focus Taniendar
You focus your magical senses on the silvery-white shard Taniendar.
The shard is generating a tiny amount of Lunar mana, linking it solidly to the microcosm.
You sense that the vast majority of the shard's energies are tied into streams of mana which connect it to some great source in the distance.
Reaching past the shard, you sense that the streams of Grazhir's mana flow steadily and are suffering from minor disruptions.
A distinct and vibrant pattern of Stellar Magic is set within the shard, the result of a ritual naming.
You recognize this as the shard Taniendar and forge a connection to it through the magical pattern.
Roundtime: 20 sec.
>
You feel fully attuned to the mana streams again.
>
You effortlessly maintain your place among the shifting streams of mana.
>
You sense a tiny amount of mana slip away from you.

[bescort]>cast Taniendar
You gesture.
Your efforts are aided by your enhanced understanding of the Plane of Probability.
You attempt to open an astral conduit through your connection to the shard Taniendar.
The spell goes awry!
With supreme effort, you are able to bring the spell to an end without harm.
>
[bescort]>rel mana
You release all the streams you were concentrating on keeping localized around you.

Yea definitely. Since "You gesture" is already matched, I think a flag for "With supreme effort, you are able to bring the spell to an end without harm." could be checked to see if we should retry. Any suggestions for how to handle catastrophic failure (voidspawn)? Quit?

[Aurayn]

yes Quit.... I have only ever avoided 9(without help) Voidspawns twice and that was after a Quit

[jandersson]

Sounds good to me, I can add add a flag for that once i know what the messaging looks like for that kind of failure

[jandersson]

Nevermind the messaging is on epedia.

It looks like there are two types of messaging, one with voidspawn one without.

Rogue Moongate
You gesture.
A brief wave of disorientation washes outward as reality itself tears wide open, forming a rogue Moongate tinged with screaming, razor-edged shadows.
followed by:
A voidspawn emerges from the screaming Moongate.
or
A wave of wild teleportational energy erupts from the screaming gate and washes over you! The assault is maliciously short of complete obliteration, granting you a few seconds of awareness as your body is torn apart.
