CB,
I found some very cool but lost special attacks that didn't return to their weapon...
#48382 (the death wave)
When a sword's special is activated, the battle system puts the weapon in slot3. So to make it work, try changing:
if $actor's name like "Lifecutter" then ticked else end;
to
if $actor's slot3's name like "Lifecutter" then ticked else end;
Same thing with #48117 (a mortal wound)
Hope that works.
