I've found when being torn from the sky by the winds in the mountains I get the same afflictions as if I'm hexagramed or hit by a sylph, (ie severe concussion + amnesia) but when I'm taken out of the air "naturally" I get what looks like massive lag, but it happens every time, and is cured up the moment I manage to get the first hit of regeneration on my head.

The same is true if somone is dropped from the sky without flight or levitation, you get what looks like massive lag, I've tried it several times and it looks like it happens every time.

I'd like to know if its intentional or not.

Amnesia "looks like" massive lag to me - your commands just don't seem to do anything...I'd think it is intentional.

Then why does it not look like massive lag with the same afflictions, when its caused by a hexagram/sylph?

Because they all knock you out of the sky. Falling from the sky gives Concussion, which therefore gives recurring Amnesia, which gives massive lag.

I think a word was missed there, if you are knocked from the sky you *dont* get the massive lag effect

you only get it if you fall naturally

I don't think you get the amnesia effect unless you actually fall (ie, not knocked down from the sky).

Amnesia makes your next command get "eaten", so it looks like lag. It reoccurs, so if you do something, wait... amnesia will occur again by the time you try. You should apply, if nothing happens right away apply again immediately before the amnesia comes back, and you should be good to go.

Edit: Though they did make most amnesia now tell you "your mind swirls in a fog as you forget what you're doing." Perhaps the wind-falling amnesia in the mountains wasn't hit with that.
