Thought some of you might be interested to know this:

If you have a spell active, and use a power whack, only to end up getting that SAME spell from it, it will stack with your current spell both in terms of time and/or number of uses.

The odds of this actually happening are very slim, but it just happened to me, so I thought I'd share this so as to clear up any potential debates people might have on the matter.



What actually happened:

I had about 19:50 time left, with ~120 whacks left on a Golden Touch charge, when I ended up getting a Golden Touch charge from a minor power-whack. My time went up to 20:50 and I was left with 147 whacks remaining.

Exactly what happens IF you buy a Spell and buy another same one before it's used up. No mystery, well it's what one should expect. And yes, it must be rare, Spells popping up on their own are so rare to begin with, and to have another same one happen in so short a time, mostly because won ones have so few charges and/or last so short a time.
I have had 2 different ones happen once and thought that was rare. Buying many though is easy.

What I dislike is the eating up of your power multiplier to 'win' a spell. Sure you HAVE to use Power to get one, but it should be something like trying to use a multiplier in Egg Breakers on a Crystal Egg or Ruby Egg, you get it back because nothing happened with it.

I would like to say congrats Nate. I did not know they would stack if you bought one then won one. Never had it happen myself. Like you said it is a slim chance.
Keep up the good whacking.

Thanks.
The crazy thing is that it just happened again tonight. :o

Though it was a much smaller boost since it was only about 17 or 18 power used up this time.
