The spell is intended to work like this: If active is 0 and the player hits someone, when the effect starts, is sets active to 5. Every second, active loses 1 from its total value. If you hit someone (alive), it adds 1 to active (unless it would go over 5, in which case it does nothing). When active hits 0, the effect turns off.

The spell however can work like this: As the above but only play magic effect animations/particles when active is 0.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Here's the current script:

ScriptName AkaviriEffect extends ActiveMagicEffectFunction StartChain()RegisterForUpdate(1)endFunctionSpell property spellToCast autoint property active autoEvent OnEffectStart(Actor akTarget, Actor akCaster)If akTarget.IsDead()akCaster.InterruptCast()debug.Notification("Invalid target.")ReturnENDIFIf active == 0debug.Notification("Ghostblade started.")spellToCast.Cast(akCaster, None)active = 5ENDIFIf active < 5akCaster.InterruptCast()debug.Notification("Renewed.

Have you tried bumping it up to 400%?

Edit: See below.

Edit: I've got the SpeedMult finally working but have hit another snag. I've changed the first post to my current issue.
