Ritual Table crashing: "java.lang.NullPointerException on update: null"

[Savallator]

The Ritual Table is not working, it does not grant the Ritual nor does it grant the "Personal Enhancement" Progress. It spins me ariund and so on, but the completion does not work. World and Player are in Online Mode.

I am not quite sure how that can happen. From the github, that is the relevant code:

private static void setToPlayer(EntityPlayer ep, boolean set, Ability a, boolean force) { NBTTagCompound nbt = ep.getEntityData(); NBTTagCompound abilities = nbt.getCompoundTag(NBT_TAG); if (abilities == null) { **abilities = new NBTTagCompound();** } if (force || set || abilities.hasKey(a.getID())) abilities.setBoolean(a.getID(), set); nbt.setTag(NBT_TAG, abilities); if (ep instanceof EntityPlayerMP) ReikaPlayerAPI.syncCustomData((EntityPlayerMP)ep); }

it seems that a Null ability might be passed down. Is it possible that
Reika.ChromatiCraft.TileEntity.Recipe.TileEntityRitualTable.giveAbility(TileEntityRitualTable.java:249)
is somehow called twice, so it is null for the second call?

Ok, on a second try, it does grant the Ability, but it still crashes

Break and replace it.
