Half-Zatoichi — bug?

During gameplay I've noticed that if one has a Half-Zatoichi that has not yet been bloodied in hand, the player will be unable to cast any spells until they make a kill or switch to another weapon via resupply locker, etc. I'm assuming this is because spells act like a a weapon that the player switches to for a split second, and the clean Zatoichi would prevent the player from switching to this, but would it be considered a bug?

Spell Names

The new responses all seem to be using the same names for the spells when they cast them. We should probably add them. -KazooieBanjo (talk) 10:51, 1 November 2013 (PDT)

Demonstration?

Should we do demonstrations of each spell like we do for weapons? Pugs501 (talk) 10:02, 3 November 2013 (PST)

You'll want to repost this here: Team_Fortress_Wiki_talk:Weapon_Demonstration. — Armisael (T · C) 10:15, 3 November 2013 (PST)

Superjump kill icon

> Please add a suitable image, then remove this notice. The specific instructions are: "Kill icons for the following: Superjump"
Yesterday I landed on enemy Pyro after Superjump while playing as Soldier, kill him like I stomped with Mantreads and noted that I get Shovel kill icon for this. I'm pretty sure that I had no Shovel nor Mantreads equipped for this moment. IDK, will this be helpful or not. Irvitzer (talk) 15:20, 9 November 2013 (PST)

Pretty sure the super jump spell can't inflict damage without mantreads. Since there is currently no way to transfer fall dmg other than mantreads. Ashes (talk) 18:12, 9 November 2013 (PST)

Yeah, I just tested this ingame. Casting the super jump spell does deal damage to enemies, but landing on an enemy doesn't cause any damage, outside of the Mantreads. --Omolong (talk) 18:25, 9 November 2013 (PST)

Some testing of the uber+overheal spell.

To whom it may concern...

http://pastebin.com/fhgczakT

Me and a bot. So the approximations are... 3 seconds of healing, up to 2x your health. 1 second (not half a second) of ubercharge. Effect applies to everyone on your team within 275 HU. Dunno about disguised spies. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chdata (talk) • (contribs) 05:47, 20 July 2014

Teleportation spell voiceline?

The line used for the Teleportation spell is "ipsum instantarium"; that's stated in the trivia section. However, ipsum is stated to be a reference to Lorem Ipsum, although ipsum actually translates to "yourself" in Latin. Is this significant enough to make a change?

The name for "Uber Heal" and “Meteor Storm”

When I checked tf_schinese.txt to find the STS translation for "Uber Heal" and “Meteor Storm”, I found the following contents instead:

"TF_Spell_OverHeal"	"超量治疗"
"[english]TF_Spell_OverHeal"	"Overheal"

"TF_Spell_Meteor"	"流星坠落"
"[english]TF_Spell_Meteor"	"Meteor Shower"

I wonder if the correct names for "Uber Heal" and “Meteor Storm” should be "Overheal" and “Meteor Shower”?

I would assume that Overheal and Meteor Shower would be correct. HyperDan2000 (talk) 12:57, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

"Overheal" and "Meteor Shower" should be correct, at least to my knowledge. VasyaTheWizard ^{(talk) • (contributions)} 14:40, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Listings

From Shadowman edit: "Should I include maps where spellbooks spawn on occasion or just have maps where they're always"

1) Ask such questions in Talk, please, so we may respond.

2) IIUC, list any Official map that spawns Magic Spell pickups at any time.

Ok, thank you.--ShadowMan44 (talk) 02:50, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Maps with magic spells

some maps only have the regular spells and no rare spells, i think that should be pointed out on the list Wojtekpolska (talk) 11:03, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Rework

This page feels off, the sections either are in the wrong place, have the wrong name or both (e.g. pickups should it be gallery??) Can I edit it to make it look more like other pages?--Joshuadinada (talk) 08:59, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

It looks fine as-is, the pickups section is to show what the spells look like when on the ground, hence why it should be higher than at the bottom of the page.
GrampaSwood (talk) 10:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Ammo has its gallery section way down at the bottom + the list at the begging feels kinda odd imo--Joshuadinada (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Minify spell name change

The Minify spell is called Power Up in the localisation files, not Minify.

"TF_Spell_Athletic"			"Power Up"

I think this should be changed.

Same with "Summon MONOCULUS", which is called just "Monoculus" (TF_Spell_SpawnBoss). - BrazilianNut (talk) 17:28, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

It's actually Monocolus, not Monoculus (it's also referred to as "Monoculous" in the game's response rules files. Quite hard to spell, apparently). I think the spell name isn't meant to be "Summon MONOCULUS" but it's just meant to describe how the spell works rather than just "MONOCULUS". It's weird, though, and I'd prefer if we copied the spell's names from the loc files.
