Hrmm this is strange. I'll have to look into it. I thought only the heal spells were castable outside of battle. Once you're out of battle I thought those keys are disabled but I know theres times when I'm typing in the chatroom and spells are being casted....
I always assumed that it was merely a case of convenience, where it would default to a low level healing spell outside of battle, but I suppose I'll take a look if I can.
A BATTLE = Heat Wave (fire spell) (Healing spells ARE available on the character from the element.)
B BATTLE = Heat Wave (fire spell) (Healing spells ARE available from the element, but due to have been being gained, are not on the list of "See Spells")
C BATTLE = Heat Wave (fire spell) (Healing spells ARE available, but not from the fire element)
D BATTLE = Heat Wave (fire spell) (Healing spells are NOT available on the character)
A MAP = No spell is selected from the "See Spells" list, healing is 1:1 MP:HP on par with a beginner healing spell.
B MAP = No effect from use of hotkey.
C MAP = No spell is selected from the "See Spells" list, healing is 1:1 MP:HP on par with a beginner healing spell.
D MAP = No effect from use of hotkey.
I suppose it's not intended to work like that then, so I've given some basic insight on it. Never the less, a bug that isn't harmful or beneficial... I assumed it was a feature myself and not a bug.
