I've noticed that in game a character who does loses all their accumulated magic levels. Is this an intended game mechanic?

It's not intended, if this is 1.13.2, forge 1.13 is still in beta and I'm still trying to figure out what's not quite working and what is in forge. Seems the clone event is busted.

It is 1.13.2 forge. I'll adjust accordingly. :-)

(this is the whole reason I uploaded alpha builds, to find bugs cuz I wouldn't have found this one any time soon)

Anywho, I've actually got time today so I'll get around to squashing bugs when I get home.

Well for an alpha build it actually works extremely well.
