What version of the addon? (I would've gotten this information if you'd provided the player information in a Pastebin.)

When you say when using presence of mind, does that mean...

• ...you've just pressed Presence of Mind and this error pops up?
• ...when Presence of Mind is recommended, this error pops up?
• ...something else?
