How many times can one Eat the Death, human brains are a rare enough
treat as they are. The spell components are rare enough for this not to
make this a repeating action. And this component does disappear when
used.
I can understand you can "test" other spells like making ghost warriors,
scrying, even forge auraculi but I sincerely doubt this is a "testable"
feature.
What I don't understand is how us players can or should keep priorities
in mind. I understand the lost NP's bug is far worse and affects more
players than the Eat/Brain bug, but it should all get fixed. Now I would
love to give Rich a hand(it would be great exercice) because I know how
annoying this must be for him if he lacks the time, but I doubt Rich
would give me the source code of Olympia :)).
