Clarification On Spell Duration

[Gidoza]

When the Mystics' Council lists a spell with a Spell Duration of "-" and says that it will be in effect until the end of this Utopian Day, what exactly does that mean with reference to the following spells...

Minor Protection: The spell is under effect and I presently have the 10% defensive bonus (or not)?

Patriotism: At the next tick, the Patriotism bonus will kick in for the last time (or not)?

Thank you.

If you see it on your mystic advisor page, then it's currently active.

The only exception I can think of is when the game misses a tick and the duration is showing as negative.

[Gidoza]

When you say exception, what exactly do you mean?

[Palem]

Exception = when the rule doesn't apply

[Gidoza]

OK, that's helpful, but it still begs the question - does an "active" Patriotism, for example, mean that it WAS USED this hour for bonus soldiers, or WILL BE USED in the coming tick for bonus soldiers? That's not the same as Protection, which is active DURING the hour; Patriotism hits at every tick.

[Palem]

If Patriotism has 0 hours left, I believe it will have it's last effect on the next tick, but I'm not 100% sure on that one (like 85% sure)

[Gidoza]

OK, I thank you for that, but I wouldn't mind 100%. I guess the only way is to test it and record the results. :)

[Gidoza]

OK, I ran the test on Fertile Lands...it does indeed work for the next tick. :)

Here, when the counter is zero it means it wont do anything on next tick
For spells that have an active bonus it means it is active even with counter at zero.

My stupid MP only gives me 5%... Should I file a bug report?
