I just had someone report a bug with one of my magic effects, since it was being applied to the player and followers when it was only supposed to apply to enemies. Figured out the reason why that was happening, but...

The image the user sent to report the bug raised another seeming problem for me - namely, that this magic effect appears to be stacking, even though I have it set up with a custom keyword and the "Dispel Effects with these Keywords" checkbox checked. Anyone know why this option wouldn't be working?

I have noticed a similar thing with some custom spells I have been updating, although they do not affect the player, just the targets.

They are supposed to dispel themselves if cast twice and in certain combinations dispel each other. It seems to work in most cases, except the damage for one of the spells (which is a low rate for the duration) stacks, and so does the slow burning effect. So what happens is that the low level smoke and smouldering effects stack on each other until they become quite dense, and the damage stacks from 1 per second to 2, 3, 4, 5 etc according to how many times you cast it.

So I would be interested if this can be solved as I have not found a fix so far. I also made unique keywords for what should be dispelled.
