Adding metamagic feats to Words of Power

I have been experimenting with the Words of Power and I see a number of the metamagic feats create validation errors to the new words spells. As an example, I wanted to add the Rime spell to the Boosted version of Blizzard, and this says it is not valid. How do the feats listed in the metamagic section validate the descriptions of the spell? I would assume it looks at the Descriptors and/or Fields (DamCold) added to the word, but I have had no luck in getting it to work. I even added my own words and feats, but I get the same results. I cannot even add my feat to the metamagic feats list on the WoP metamagic powers.

Any ideas?

Best Regards,

Loelin
 
SpellEff tags, in Rime spell's case. If you need to see what the pre-req is checking, you can always copy it in the editor to take a look.
 
I finally had some time to get back to this and I see that the rime metamagic feat and it has 2 eval checks that I think are wrong.

tagis[sDescript.Cold] <> 0

tagis[SpellEff.DamCold] <> 0

yet when I try to add this to Frost Fingers the evaluation check says it is wrong. Are we sure the rime spell evals are checking the effect word?

What am I missing?

In your actual code, are those tagis[] inside if () then?

Code: 
if (tagis[sDescript.Cold] <> 0) then
     ~do something
     endif
 
Ok, scrap adding my own content. I would like to see someone test if they can add the rime metamagic feat to a cold effect words that meet the requirements and have a valid result.

Try "Frost Fingers" for an effect word and "selected" for a target word. Then try to add the rime spell metamagic word and it gives two errors:

Spell must deal cold damage
Cold descriptor required

Based on the effect word these would be satisfied, so I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

I think this part of the system is broken or bugged.
 
Look for the bug reporting thread that is stickied for the link to report bugs as they will become lost through the forums as more posts are made.

When in doubt, report the suspected bug. If it's not a bug, you'll find out, and if it is it will make it to the list of bugs to be squished.

I believe that I've seen this come up before on the forums but report the issue anyway.
