Summary0000879: [SPHERE] tags are not caste-level
DescriptionWhen assigning spheres to creature, spheres assigned to one caste will apply to all instances of the creature. This can be confusing if you use castes to create multiple varieties of a megabeast that are meant to represent different elements/aspects/etc.

EX: A GIANT creature with castes for Mountain giants and Forest giants, and the appropriate spheres, results in both castes getting both spheres.
Steps To ReproduceAssign [SPHERE:X] to one caste (Male) of a megabeast, and [SPHERE:Y] to another (female). Both castes will have both spheres in Legends mode.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is expected behavior. It was apparently a hassle to make them work at the caste level just yet:

"The number of tokens that are creature rather than caste specific is very small. Creatures handle the overall name, biome, whether the creature is considered fanciful/doesn't exist (for art), vermin information (so, no, Fault, sorry!... too much depends on that right now), whether groups hang together closely, whether it is mundane (from real Earth for age name purposes), population information including good/evil/savage, if it is equipment, sphere information (not sure how long that'll last, but there were annoyances), and that looks like it (they also have some general categories that have caste overrides, like child names and speeches for adv mode). Everything else, including body information, is held in the castes."
