Casting Bind Vampieroghi 1223 times...
You acquire an effect: Bloody Potato Bits (duration: 12230 Adventures)
Bind Vampieroghi was successfully cast.

Notably at the bottom it cast 12230 turns worth of bloody potato bits, rather than balancing that MP so that I'd end up with an even amount of all my other buffs. Pyromania is set to get up to 5,000 turns of each buff, and all buffs were below 1,000 turns. Each buff was set at 100% in pyromania. What happened here?
 
Still doing this as of 13448, the last several times I've tried this, it's favored spice haze (see example below). Curiously, my initial example used a different off-class pasta thrall, and I believe the only other skill that has been disproportionately favored is disco fever.

Edit: here's another sample, also overbuffing spice haze, in the same session as the the previous example. It would seem to me that there's a priority somewhere in choosing which is cast more than the others. Before I was running an off-class pasta thrall, it was disco fever, then once I had off-class pasta thralls running, it consistently stayed on them.

I guess if nothing else, to better direct this issue, should I be posting my questions here, in the pyromania thread, or the bug reports forum? I posted it here initially because I figured a user error of some sort was going on, but I really don't know.

It's not pyromania... pyromania is just a simpler way to change mafia's built-in mana burning rules. It doesn't replace mafia's functionality or anything especially tricky, it's just the configuration script.
It may or may not be mafia, depending on whether it's a bug in trying to cast the pasta thralls for buffs improperly or if it does actually know what it's about to do.

Most likely, the 'fix' is to tell mafia, through pyromania, to avoid casting the buffs that you'd like it to avoid.
 
It's not that I'd like mafia to avoid casting these buffs, it's just that I'd like them to have equal standing. In pyromania they're set to 100% like everything else, but spice haze is still being disproportionately favored for some reason. On the whole, everything is working, I have thousands of turns of each buff that I want, it's just that spice haze curiously has a few hundred more turns than other things.

Edit: I've come to suspect this might also be happening during between battle burning while I'm automating turns. Otherwise I wouldn't be ending the day with more turns of spice haze, it would have balanced out from the all the MP received during the day from my mimic.

Today during adventuring, once all my other buffs had finally caught up to the initial massive amount of turns of disco fever I received after a week or so, disco fever seems to have shot up by another 5,000 turns, far ahead of any of my other buffs.

Additionally, song of bravado does not appear in pyromania's menu, and I am, as far as I can tell, unable to manipulate its status during mana burning. It is by default being extended.

Nobody has posted anything thus far that's making me think this is user error, so I'm reporting this thread via the moderation link to be moved to the bug reports forum.
 
Set in the CLI, though I won't be able to test until after rollover ("skillBurn106=-0" now is in my prefs file). How would it work its way into pyromania's relay menu? The script itself hasn't been changed for quite some time as far as I can tell, and yet other new skills have populated its relay browser menu.

Maybe this is the strangest of pebkac gremlins at work, but skillBurn106=-0 and skillBurn0106=-0 don't seem to be working, and even more strangely, the setting has disappeared from my prefs file, at least according to ctrl+f. I had put it there before logging in with mafia each time I tested either.
 
Ah, that was me assuming the end number correlated with the 0-100% setting in pyromania. I'll give it another go later.


Edit:
Code: 
> set skillBurn0106=-100

skillBurn0106 => -100

> set skillBurn106=-100

skillBurn106 => -100

Not sure which did it, but it's working now. Even if they don't persist for some weird reason, now I've got it working.
