Mana burn not showing criticals?

Well, I have recently noticed that Mana Burn isn't showing that you hit a critical. This isn't a big problem, but it is an inconvenience. I like to monitor my critical hits and I can't do that with Mana Burn. Would you guys at Kingsisle be ever so kind as to fix this issue as you did with supernova recently?

This is no bug (No pun intended):

KI is not fixing your problem that you can't get critical with a Mana Burn. If you need to critical it, try getting new gear.

I didn't say I couldn't get a critical with it, I said when I do get a critical, it isn't displaying "CRITICAL!" like it does with any other spell. Maybe try to interpret what others are saying a bit better before you're the one looking like a moron, just saying.

Yes that is correct. It no longer says "CRITICAL" when you critical it just applies the critical and does not display the message.

i am also seeing another bug with this move, logicly it should not be doing this, so i am adding it to this one because it is about manaburn.

when the target does get hit by the move, it does not count spells in cast, and if the pips are not available to cast that move, it should at least fizzle the move, this problem also seems to be present with Lord of Winter.

in both cases, (example) casting pixie and having only 2 pips should cause it to fizzle since there is no actual pips after the spell has hit the target
