Mysterious blood red fog...

[Unclever title]

Not sure if it's ever been pointed out, I did do a preliminary forum search but nothing about it turned up.

Anyway this is something I discovered lately. I left the grid up for locating purposes.



Right around that area are a bunch of squares connected in a bit of a zigzag that if I have the gravedigger's flame spell active and stand in one of those spots the fog overlay turns a creepy blood red.

For clarification purposes I currently have the *ahem* appropriate amulet equipped.

Not that it would be much of a spoiler to mention specifically really, but I like being all mysterious and obfuscative.

Edit: Startling new developments!

At X=15 Y=80 on the same map I found another spot and encountered an Acid grub.

The overlay would alternate between red and normal as the grub and I traded blows. That was entertaining.

It's a common "bug" in Crakamir. It has happened several times in my PC. It seems to happen when there is fog, although I didn't try to reproduce this in Vela.

I was able to reproduce this bug in Crakamir in plain daylight without Gravedigger's Flame every time I attacked an Acid Grubb.

Happened to me on the map that contains Tangletree Ossuary and somewhere in Crakamir, without Gravedigger's Flame, and on a Mac.

Blood-red fog should never be a bug.

I want to see it occurring naturally in Book II.

...But too late for that, I know, unless somehow, coincidentally, BW decided to add it in.

(disclosure: I've never seen a blood-red fog before, in Book I... but, admittedly, I've rarely ever used Gravedigger's Flame. I preferred Cats Eyes although I more frequently used torches, myself.)

It only flashes. When an arrow would hit an acid grubb, it would flash to a coloured screen, then flash back to normal a second later.

That's disappointing.

I want to see a Blood Red Fog spell.
