Tactical spell AI query -- should casters be spending gems to magically protect summoned units? I'm not sure where the balance should be. It might make sense to re-cast Antimagic or Will of the Fates or Mass Protection if a friendly just summoned a bunch of Elementals, but it might be overkill for something like the wolves automatically summoned by the Soulstone, or a small batch of longdead. Tricky. Maybe they should only be re-cast if the summons itself had required at least one gem or something like that (those usually being the more serious summons).
On a positive note, I've yet to see my 2.06 casters cast a damaging-aura spell when surrounded by non-immune friendlies (e.g. no Breath of Winter from my Illithids), even when they're capable. Cool. Dunno if that's by luck or not, but cool.
