There was a problem with spells which should be on guaranteed timers. So, I built a new spelltype which bypasses timer randomizations.
This can also apply to other detrimental 'boss' type abilities which should be on a reliable timer (e.g. dragon fears).
Unfortunately, we will need to update existing npcs to use the new spelltype.
#1. All death touches should be 45 seconds correct? Currently there seems to be a mix of some which are 30, others which are 45.
#2. Are there any 'boss' type abilities which should not be on reliable timers?
#3. Should there be any 'beneficial' type spells which are on guaranteed timers?
If anyone wants to assist with compiling a list of which abilities should be guaranteed, it will help ensure none are missed.

Tangential to death / cazic touches, harm touches have an issue where if the NPC is casting a different spell at the time it wants to cast harm touch it will blow the harm touch timer without actually casting (presumably because it is in the middle of casting a different spell). I suspect users of death/cazic touch experience similar issues where the timed DT can be bypassed by having the npc cast a different spell at the time it is supposed to go off.
Is this something which you're aware of?
