Players randomly cant cast attack spells

Every other season, when clicking on spells no output is shown. The fix described in&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5667436/all-of-my-pcs-are-having-trouble-casting-spells" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5667436/all-of-my-pcs-are-having-trouble-casting-spells</a> &nbsp;,&nbsp; changing each spell to spellcard then back to attack works but is annoying to do every 2. week. Spells were added using Compendium drop I am using the 5e OGL character sheet. Is there a permanent solution to this problem and where is it comming from? Thanks for your help

Hi Lestrasil J,&nbsp; Could you provide more information on what happens when a player is trying to cast a spell?&nbsp; What are they clicking to cast the spell?&nbsp; What is the output to chat (if any)? Could you also screenshot the spell while editing it?&nbsp;
In the core tab under spells&amp;attacks the spell still works, in the Spell tab and using macros it wont. It shows no output at all.&nbsp; /// So i think i found the most recent problem. This is linked to the Spells and Attacks are doubled after for example level up. I then tried to remove the duplicates using a script I found in this forum. This deletion seems to break the spells.

Ok, so this is an Attack duplication problem, not a spells problem.&nbsp; When Attacks duplicate and you delete what you think to be duplicates it may break the spells those attacks are linked to.&nbsp; There are two ways I deal with this:&nbsp; 1) I put a "line" in my attacks....when the duplicates appear I delete everything below that line. Usually that doesn't break the spells.&nbsp; 2) I switch all spells that do not require attack rolls from attack card spells to spellcard. Then I embed the saving throw and damage rolls in the spell.&nbsp; This reduces the number of spells that have a problem with the attack duplicate bug.&nbsp; Note: this creates an entirely new bug, but it is a more controllable bug.&nbsp; If you would like more information on either of these let me know.&nbsp; Also note: I do not use the Charactermancer for leveling up spells. It is buggy. I manually drag/drop spells from the Compendium during level up.&nbsp;
