Power Pip Problem

So I'm dueling the banshee boss in the Vault of Ice ( this happened many other places too) and I had one power pip and one regular pip. But I couldn't cast my rank 3 spell! And I had enough mana, too. Later I had two power pips and I could cast a rank 4 spell. What's with this? Sometimes it won't count as 2 pips like it should! And even weirder, I had 2 regular pips and a power pip, and I could cast Meteor Strike (rank 4) but not Humungofrog ( also rank 4)! What is with this? Please fix this bug, it makes duels very unfair!

not a bug~ power pips count double for your school only, unless you have a mastery amulet from the crown shop. so if your fire wizard has 2 power pips, for example, she can either cast a meteor strike (rank 4 school spell) or a rank 2 spell from any other school.

(all of this is explained to you in the tutorial quest you receive at level 5; if you haven't completed it, go visit diego in unicorn way to do so).

good luck,

Go see Diego the Duelmaster as you should have at level 6. He talked about power pips.

Power pips count for your school only.
