Just for the records:
Its very annoying to see Drulkar`s Flamestone "fixed" that way.
It was a nice crystal, it has been used by many, an appropriate quest reward (which is not naturally so).
So why "fix" it? Was it that urgend?`Did folks complain??
How long did it take until Wolf`s Bane did work properly?
Or Mental Bane tech?
Even the new Darkstaff crystals had a bug at the beginning.
At least Drulkar`s Flamestone did work- maybe not quite as intended
but it did work.
With so many things left to do and fix-
sry devs
it would not have been on top of my priority list
(this post refers to the posts of R`aven and Northwind in "game bugs" too)
