If you install RH from the Mod Launcher, you can also add Sorcery in as a Modlet. Click the "Manage Modlets" button to the right when viewing your RH install, and you can add it in the View Available section. Don't forget to patch your RH localization.txt by adding the contents of Sorcery's localization.txt to the end.
I run RH 5.12 (default textures) + Sorcery 0.7 (modlet), and everything looks/plays just fine. Haven't upgraded to RH 5.13 yet, still helping with testing on the Sorcery side. But soon!
Excellent news, no restart needed! I avoid this as much as possible, but always backup saves to be safe.
Jaga is correct, this is part of the new system: once Stacks/Spells are "Charged", so long as you continue casting the same element, your stacks remain for 10 seconds. This is to encourage spell swapping, synergizing and active caster playstyle.
Within the Mod Launcher select: Ravenhearst 5.1 > Install > Manage Modlets > Sorcery > Install> See Localization Notes
v0.7 Is Now LIVE!

Multiplayer / Dedicated Server
STABLE: The nasty multiplayer bugs have been worked around and exterminated! Sorcery has been extensively tested in P2P and Dedicated Multiplayer environments: Vanilla, Ravenhearst and Darkness Falls to ensure maximum stability and compatibility.
** A very special thank you to Jaga for providing the dedicated server, directly helping with the multiplayer testing and for providing valuable feedback this past week!

Ravenhearst
Residents of Ravenhearst will no longer run into foes immune to Spells; No one escapes Elemental Annihilation! Additionally, residents may now enjoy higher quality Sorcery Crafting based on <Element Mastery> of the item you wish to craft. Sorcerer Armor will look for your Highest <Element> Mastery level.
NOTE: At least 1 point into Tradesman is required to activate.
Â
Darkness Falls
Residents of Darkness Falls will no longer run into foes immune to Spells; No one escapes Elemental Annihilation! Additionally, residents may now enjoy higher quality Sorcery Crafting based on <Element Mastery> of the item you wish to craft. Sorcerer Armor will look for your Highest <Element> Mastery level.
NOTE: Due to the non standard scale of certain DF Entities, some Spells may be invisible or supersized on these entities.

Lightning Update
This past week has been riddled with intense bug workarounds and patching to ensure full stability in Multiplayer. Inevitably, this has consumed a solid week of Lightning development time. However, I've made excellent progress with Lightning already and am determined to unleash the storms of nature within the 1st week of May!
Â
Even better news is that Sorcery is now fully stable and officially playthrough ready in all game modes. This is great news for now and later.

I'll leave you with this Lightning teaser:
You're guaranteed to experience a unique caster playstyle that works... shockingly well with the other elements! You may even find an Easter Egg or two... or three!
Snuck the patch notes on the main thread, last page... fighting against limited space
I consider Localization 100% mandatory for Sorcery, as without in-game text it's nearly impossible to play.
Hey Seeker, the only other time I've seen this problem happen is if a Sorcery save is loaded without Sorcery, even if only briefly. Not sure if that's a possibility for your situation, but this is the only report of the problem. The latest update v0.7 does not alter or remove skills in any way that would cause a reset.
I've no idea how that could happen since I'm launching through the mod launcher, just figured I should report the issue. This mod is the only I've been playing lately, because its fun and all. Suppose I'll just get back to grinding for levels and reacquire skills. If the save did somehow get borked, can always restart.
