Hi Nicol, I wanted Sarah to have to learn to use the Patronis spell. So when she first uses it the time is shorter than later on. I set up 4 variables and set the first 4 patronis spells to the first variable that would last about 20 seconds. the next 4 would last 40 seconds and the next 4 last 60 seconds. After the first 12 spells, all the rest would last 80 seconds. When you used a spell I would deduct 1 from the first variable unless it was 0, or if it was 0 I would check the next variable. I do not know why I did it this way but in looking at the code I realized I could just add a variable to count how many spells were used then vary the time based on that number. I was able to remove about 20 lines of code from each level which helps to make the levels load quicker. As I re-wrote the function I did not try to track down the bug but after the change the bug was gone. Phil
