NC released the second post-launch update for AION 2 Global after the maintenance of October 13 (PDT) / October 14 (CEST), 2026.

Class changes

All changes in this patch are bug fixes, not number changes.

Class	Skill	What changes	Kind
Spiritmaster	Summon: Ancient Spirit	Summons at Lv. 15 or below now use their skills correctly	Fix
Sorcerer	Fire Wall	Bonus damage now applies when you and the target are at different heights; your Embers effect is no longer removed by another player’s stronger Embers	Fix
Sorcerer	Cold Storm	Same height-difference fix; your Frostbite is no longer removed by another player’s stronger Frostbite	Fix
Sorcerer	Bittercold Wind	The Frost cooldown reduction now works with height differences	Fix

What it means: Sorcerers lose less damage in uneven terrain such as the Abyss, and two Sorcerers in one group no longer overwrite each other’s burn or frost effects. Low-level Spiritmasters get a working summon.
