Sorry about this my mistake, my main is 50 necro so i'm used to using Rest the Dead for a lull. But yes mate I was using Numb the Dead on my lowbie SK. It does not say it consumes a bone chip in the spell description, nor does it on
Lucy, so I was a bit confused.
After looking through the spell history on Lucy I do see that it was changed to not consume a Bone Chip on 2003-5-14. So the Numb the Dead on p1999 server reflects a spell description mirroring that what was implemented on the mentioned date.
Sorry for the inconvenience, feel free to delete post if necessary.
