 |      Text = a "level 8" defender has always been in loot but to hide that fact it has up until now been named the same as the level 7 version. Due to how our loot system works it needed to be there but we simply just made it look the same in everyway to the level 7 version.

When creating the craftable level 8 defender there seemed no need to keep up the illusion that the spell didn't exist in loot, so the name was changed to match the craftable version.


And no the Blood Drinker 8 that spawns on weapons was not changed in any way.

 |      Text = Before there was:

Cragstone's Will - level 7 power level 7 duration castable/loot<br>
Cragstone's Will - a level 8 spell but level 7 power level 7 duration - loot only

Now there is:

Cragstone's Will - level 7 power level 7 duration - castable/loot<br>
Incantation of Defender - level 7 power level 8 duration - castable/loot

The spell that was technically code wise a level 8 that was on loot pretending to be a level 7 was changed in name and duration and made castable. There has never been a level 8 effect defender on loot.

 |  Question = So wait. Prior to this patch, it was not possible to find a weapon with "Incantation of Defender" as an enchantment? And no one ever noticed this?
 |      Text = Nope that name could not show up on loot, the level 8 spell was purposely named as the level 7 since it had the same effect and we wanted to avoid confusion as to why the level 8 spell had the same effect as the level 7.

Now that the players can cast this spell it's name was changed to reflect what it actually is.
