Bugs

Due to a coding error, characters that cast a spell that applies a condition (such as  Guidance) on a Bladesinger wizard may inadvertantly have their casting animations changed to the ones used by and unique to Bladesinger wizards. This effect is permanent, and is only removed if the affected character is respecced at Withers.
