Default Mana Shield Bug (Upon caster death)

There appears to be a significant bug with mana shield.

Sometimes cone spells will completely disregard your mana shield.

I have seen this happen a number of times on different characters.

One condition for this to happen seems to be that the monster that casts the cone spell dies and you are hit by the spell after its death.

It doesn't happen every time however, so there are presumably other factors at work. Another factor 'might' be that the monster also has a summon active when it dies? I cannot verify this, the often fatal nature of this bug makes it difficult to test for a player.

Here is a transcript of it happening, cut/pasted from my client:

You cut Dracolich very badly.
Your mana shield absorbs some damage. **{here you see my MS is active}
icestorm blasted you with an arctic wind.
You singed Frozen Dracolich.
You burned Dracolich badly.
You scorched Frozen Dracolich horribly with intense flame.
You burned Dracolich badly.
You burned Frozen Dracolich.
You scorched Frozen Dracolich horribly with intense flame.
You killed Dracolich.
icestorm blasted you with an arctic wind. **{wham bug kicks in}
icestorm covered you in frost.
icestorm covered you in biting frost.
icestorm froze you.
icestorm covered you in biting frost.
icestorm covered you in frost.
icestorm covered you in biting frost.
icestorm blasted you with an arctic wind.
icestorm covered you in biting frost.
Your bravery spell expires.
Your resist cold spell expires.
Your resist fire spell expires.
Your mana shield spell expires. **{ms flicks off as i die}
You die.
You were killed by a Frozen Dracolich.

From the kill msg, seems in this instance it was the summon that cast the offending spell (the draco summoned the frozen draco).

(for the benefit of others reading this)

As I told you in-game, please leave a brief bug report with the bugs command in the game. This currently cant be duplicated 100% and we have no other reports of it. So as more info comes in having all the info in the bugs log will be important for us to be able to pinpoint it.

I have experienced a similar situation with ice storm from a frozen draco in the skull cave. I did not die, or save my combat logs, but if it happens again I will also bug report it to help out. Maybe its something with frozen draco summons?

doubtful, but anything is possible, this is wyvern. Just bug report specifics. We have to be able to duplicate it and so far we can't. So it something else than whats been listed so far. So keep bug reporting it when it happens with details.

Yeah, I have logged a few of these events, all but one involved frozen dracos.

But I do have one log of the bug occuring with sandstorm from a summoned sand demon as well, so don't think it is fro-draco exclusive.

My suspicion is people will see this bug most commonly with dracs/fro-dracs because they tend to summon and cast cones a lot.

Actually looking at my logs again, it could be the exact circumstance which triggers this bug is that the summoned creature must cast the cone. ie monster summons another monster, summon casts cone, monster OR summon is killed, cone hits player. But I can't be sure from the logs.

I should note that although mana shield is by passed, resists still work, so mages with high water shouldn't die from icestorm.
