"Puppet Mastery" seems a bit odd in two respects for me in my current 2.12 (Linux) game.

(a) It can cause a several-second pause when used with ~250 manikins and friends.
(b) I've right-clicked on random units and never noticed either improved AP (faster movement) or improved def (quickness), even when it's being casted over and over again by multiple Carrion Lords in a magic+1 domain with no Antimagic or equivalent.
