Possible Bug or text error for Archmage Secondary Spell Mastery I: Illusion

[kcalbyz]

I have just reset the enhancements on my level 19 wizard and was taking the Archmage Illusion route when I encountered the following bug for Spell Like Abilities.

Illusion II: Blur
Requires one of:
Archmage Spell Mastery I: Illusion
Archmage Secondary Spell Mastery I: Illusion

From the above description, I had the impression that either one will work so I picked Archmage Secondary first and got the enhancement Illusion II: Blur.

Whilst working my way up to Illusion IV: Phantasmal Killer, one of the requirements are Archmage Spell Mastery I: Illusion which I have not picked up yet. So I went to find it only to realise that I cannot get the enhancement anymore even though I have all the requirements met. The enhancement is greyed out and cannot be selected.

I contacted the GM and confirmed my suspicion that selecting Archmage Secondary Spell Mastery I: Illusion prevented me from getting the Archmage Spell Mastery I: Illusion. I told him that the text description of the requirements are misleading since there was no indication that selecting one will disable the other and he agreed it was strange as well. He told me to do a Feedback thread on the forum so I will do one after this.

It's actually Works As Intended.

Summary: You can only pick 2 schools for archmage: one for the primary line (spell mastery and greater spell mastery) and a different one for the secondary line (secondary spell mastery).

You can pick the secondary line first but you'll have to pick a different school for the primary line.

Sucks to do it wrong, but can be fixed by resetting enhancements after 3 days.

I understand the part about primary and secondary school but what is buggy is that upon picking the secondary FIRST will grey out and disable the entire list of primary schools. Which means I can no long pick a primary line of spells even if I wish to go Necro instead of Illusion.

The game should have forced me to pick a primary first and then a secondary later instead of allowing me to pick a secondary first and then deny me to opportunity of picking a primary. Now I am stuck with a secondary school without being able to pick any primary at all.

Even the GM that came in to help was puzzled over the incident and told me to raise it in the feedback forum so I guess it is not a purely a mistake of mine.

Yeah, that's a bug... you'll want to make sure the devs get this report.
