Another potential find, from Qien logs:

I found it odd that a wizard was getting this message for spell casting restriction. I wrote a little sub program to see what he had memorized at the time. I went up to his last death (where we know all his spell gems were cleared). Every time he finished memorizing a spell I added it to the list, every time he forgot a spell I removed it from the list. I see he had this memorized:

Atol’s Spectral Shackles
Draught of Fire
Gate
Harvest
Lure of Frost
Manaskin
Paralyzing Earth
Rend

Manaskin being the only 51+ Level spell that is a buff. Even though it is self-only, for whatever reason, the level restriction check occurs first and then prevents casting. If you look at his log record, he previously targeted and conned a level 14 druid shortly before casting.

I don't have a high enough character with this type of self-buff to test, so not sure if it is working correctly. I did forum search and found this:

In the thread OP mentions the restriction message only occurs when targeting a corpse, which seems to imply it doesn't happen when targeting players (improper behavior).

I'm sure its not major priority, and the logs are very early Luclin that just show this, but I find it unlikely the behavior changed post Velious.
