Okay, so fighting through the crazy blinking in both Windows and Linux, Firefox, Chrome and Chromium... at least the pings are low again and no more packet drops...
My IA1 spark of life expired because I kept clicking alt-5 instead of 5 (yeah I was distracted) and that kept invoking Heartseeker... so now my magic is up to 1203 out of 1300 and when my manual-cast spark of life expired, IA1
did not re-cast.Huh...? (IMG:[

IIRC it takes a turn before its re-cast is displayed.
106 3 The effect Spark of Life has expired.
106 2 You parry the attack from In Memorabilia Of Darksage F2c.
106 1 You gain the effect Defending.
105 2 You parry the attack from In Memorabilia Of Darksage F2c.
105 1 You gain the effect Defending.
^^ health bar turns green
Next turn's log:
107 2 In Memorabilia Of Darksage F2c hits you for 206 crushing damage.
107 1 You gain the effect Defending.
106 4 You gain the effect Spark of Life.106 3 The effect Spark of Life has expired.

Note that it actually does re-cast that turn - it's just that, for some reason, the battle log only displays the effect as occurring after you issue a command for that turn. So it might seem like you're in danger during that turn, but you're not - the delay takes 0 action time (and is even faster than Stunned monsters recovering from stun who take an extra turn immediately).

one reason why I still prefer to cast SoL manually , IA still need some turn to recast it back + if our MP is below 10% it will not recast back until we have 25% MP (IMG:[

When I play, I manage my mana so it never gets that low. The turns saved makes it worth it, and it's not like lost mana is likely to be regained except through restoratives. Might as well use a draught at 40% or 50% MP or something.
