magic.c, successful_casting

Locate:

   else if( ch && ch == victim && skill->type == SKILL_SPELL )
      act( chitme, "Ok.", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_CHAR );

Below that, add:

   else if( ch && ch == victim && skill->type == SKILL_SKILL )
   {
      if( skill->hit_char && ( skill->hit_char[0] != '\0' ) )
         act( chit, skill->hit_char, ch, obj, victim, TO_CHAR );
      else
         act( chit, "Ok.", ch, NULL, NULL, TO_CHAR );
   }

The cause for why this stopped displaying isn't clear right now, but it is likely due to changes brought about by a previous bugfix.
