Well, we could include the new formula, but in my eyes it would be better, to do it in another patch, since 1) its some different issue 2) its a version issue: someon, who is running an older server may want to stick to the old formula but wants do get rid of the problem that is adressed by the actual patch.

Updated my Post: renamed spellmgr to sSpellMgr. Regards, DasMY

Hello out there , I tried to apply your patch, but had to find out, that SPELL_ATTR_EX2_CANT_REFLECTED is now being used in several places in code. Hence removing it is not that simple. I would propose a solution like http://paste2.org/p/520649. Using mSpellChainMapNext, that is already being initialized on spell-chain load (but afaik used nowhere until now in mangos-0.12), it is checked, whether a higher-rank spell exists. If this is not the case, downranking is prevented. -- Hopefully, I understood things correctly with mSpellChainMapNext :lol: I am looking forward to your comments.
