Im at work now, so I cant readily test it
But when I was playing last night with my Mo/N

If you have a target selected and it dies, any corpse spell you were cast <ie: animate horror> fizzled out as if you were casting a spell directly on the target.

Anyone been getting this?

Tends to happen when other ppl or npc use up the corpse.
Example is the necromancer henchman you get at yak and later. He usually stole my corpses for his inferior weak necro skills ^^ i fired him after the first mission with him and never took him anymore.

Enemys with necro skill can use up tasty corpses aswell. It depends who casts faster

Oh and player Necros usually end up fighting for corpses

Not quite, I understand when that happens and the corpse turns black. However I was fighting mino's in the shiverpeaks when it occured

I've taken the necro henchman, and yes, he may use a corpse for his own spells thus causing a cancelation of your spell. For me, it's ok since I usually use vampiric gaze, and Life siphon. But still, I've been cut out on a few corpses here and there when I wanted to do blood renewal, and animate dead type spells.

*edit* Also if an enemy has explosive corpse spells like the scorpion type critters, that will use up a corpse.
