Support gems on spirit skills not increasing cost.

Does anyone know if this is a bug or intended? The supports that say they add a flat spirit cost do in fact do that. But using normal support gems that just have a cost multiplier don't actually increase the cost.

Like if you do blasphemy with a curse and the magnified support to increase the AoE on it. The magnified support has a cost multiplier of 120%, but the cost still stays at 60. It shows the radius going up in the tool tip, so I assume it works, but the cost stays the same.

I've found an even more strange issue.

Minions reserve spirit but support gems do not increase their costs.

Withering Presence reserves spirit but support gems do not increase its cost.

Blasphemy reserves spirit but DOES have Heightened Curse increase its cost.

Surely one of this is a bug right?...but which one(s)?

I believe it's intended, as reserve and cost are distinctly separately used terms in the skill tooltips. For example, for blasphemy, raising the quality of the gem reduces the reservation, rather than the cost.

I believe the reserved spirit for minions functions the same way.

As far as heightened curse goes, I believe blasphemy is completely unaffected by this support gem, as it's counted as a persistent, meta, and aura skill, but not a curse itself (same reason why impending doom and decaying hex don't work).



Edit: disregard all that. I thought it through a bit more. I believe the cost multiplier of the Magnified effect gem may be applying to the default (0) cost of blasphemy itself, while heightened curse applies the cost multiplier to the curse gems inside blasphemy, as it only affects those anyway. Hence the cost multiplier.

Heightened curse not actually working with blasphemy, to my knowledge, is true though.

I'll test heightened curse tonight but encumbrance works when blasphemy has temporal chains and blasphemy itself doesn't have the slow or even list encumbrance as an option so I don't see why the other wouldn't work.
