Mutation from gray glow?

I think I just got mutations from gray glow. I was trying to cast ice form. I had thought that gray glow didn't give mutations.

My message log reads like this:

You miscast the spell.
You are very lightly contaminated with residual magic.
You feel the urge to shout. You feel yourself wasting away.
Your body is distorted in a weirdly horrible way!

I'm playing trunk. Has something changed? Am I confused about when glow can give mutations? Or was I glowing yellow for a moment without realizing it?

Re: Mutation from gray glow?

From the learnDB on transmutation miscasts:

  Code:
By severity: 1: 1-11 damage or random uselessness. 2: 3-25 damage, 0-18 glow, paralysis, or confusion. 3: 3-20 dmg AND 0-34 glow, 5-27 dmg AND delete mutation, 5-27 dmg AND 1-2 bad mutations.


Glow had nothing to do with it. You were (un)fortunate enough to get a level 3 transmutation miscast. The "Your body is distorted in a weirdly horrible way!" message is what distinguishes it from a case of excessive glow.

For this message the author GameKnut has received thanks:
