Summary

0009716: Cannot cast Animate Skeleton over corpse in deep water that would create a swimming skeleton

Description

I am a Merfolk Player in Shoals.

When I cast Animate Skeleton on Merfolk corpses, they create skeletons that can travel through water.

When I cast Animate Skeleton on a Merfolk corpse in the water, it says there is no room for the skeleton to have been created, which is (1) false because water = 360 degrees and (2) a swimming skeleton would have been created.

Not that skeletons are worth much these days anymore, but this seems like an oversight.

Notes
(0029053) PleasingFungus (administrator) 2015-05-12 21:08	This shouldn't work (ref. 4960e1bef5f4) but the message is wrong, or odd. ...Can you explain what "water = 360 degrees" means?

(0029056) XuaXua (reporter) 2015-05-13 22:10	Just trying to explain that there is room for a swimming skeleton to appear.

(0029060) PleasingFungus (administrator) 2015-05-16 19:10	The same incorrect message appears when attempting to animate a skeleton under sanctuary. The relevant code should probably be rewritten entirely.
