just on the off chance, did you check your temp power list? the power is not automatically added to your trays so i didnt even know that was awarded the first few times i finished the arc
Thanks for checking, Necrotech Master. I did take a look at my temporary powers tray listing and didn't find it there when I finished the flashback arc; whipped up a powexec_name bind just in case it wasn't showing, too. I'll do a final check once I get home on the off chance I made a typo, though.

There are plenty of powers that don't re-award through flashback. I wouldn't be surprised if they did that with this one.

What Agge said was my first thought too. My second thought was that maybe it's still sitting there (invisibly) with 0 charges, and can't be refreshed until the 5 day timer wears off. How long has it been since you earned the first one?

Yeah, I thought about that as well; if that was intentional, I'd appreciate confirmation and hopefully a change of mind. I'd think that something as visually and audibly impressive as this wouldn't be so extremely limited, particularly as it fills a niche of blatantly magical attacks that's not elsewhere in the game. |

It was 5 real days before I ran through the arc. However, I still have the Blessing of Tielekku on so it might need as much as 5 days of in game time before we'll know for sure. I'll run the arc again this weekend to see if I tripped up somewhere.

You didn't trip up - the behavior is exactly what it was on beta: the magical burst doesn't award in flashback (and, incidentally, if you do the 'other' option - e.g. stab Tielekku with the sword instead of spare her when you spared her the first time - you *still* won't get another copy of the magical burst, and you won't get the 'Aura of Mot' power either). BTW, Aura of Mot is a damage and recovery boost that is set up the same as the Blessing - it lasts 5 days of in-game time.|

For what it's worth, I speculated in beta that the Blessing (or Aura) power had to expire before you could get a 'recharge' on either, but could never test it out (so, to be clear, my opinion on that is nothing more than speculation).
M.A. Arcs
Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice!
)Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)
The title says it all, really. I had finished Dark Astoria's new content on my main character and received, and subsequently used up Magical Burst, the excellent, beautiful temporary magical PBAoE. The power had both a 5 day, real time limit and a 10 power charge cap, so it was quickly worn out.
I love magical themed temporary powers, and usually flash-back the Rune of Warding arc to keep the power 'permanently.' I tried the same thing with Magical Burst, playing through the Ouroboros Dark Astoria finale, but finishing the content didn't award anything.
If it helps, I still have the other temporary power from the arc, Blessing of Tielekku active; the 5 days in-game duration is much more reasonable than the 5 days real-time duration for Magical Burst.
