I was playing as Man, and using the demigoddess (Daughter of Tuatha?) as my pretender.

She's got some HP, so I figure I'll get some SC usage out of her before she retires to research and cast rituals.

I set her to: Fire Shield, Flight, Personal Regen, Soothing Song, Attack rear

My assumption would be that she would cast flight on -herself-, and then fly on over to the rear of the army and beat up on some commanders... No.

So she casts all her spells, and starts Strolling.. nay, meandering, her way across the field.. *sigh* I check her stats, no flying icon. I check the stats of every other soldier on the field (There was just a dozen longspears to keep people off her while casting)... none of them have the flight icon...

This happened in three successive battles, the second and third times, I paused right after she cast flight to look for who was flying (not wanting the person to die before I found them) and found nobody. (I gave up on the plan after three failures)

1) Any idea what happened?
2) Any way to specify "Cast it on your damn self!"?

Not sure what happened (certainly Flight should have been cast on somebody, but perhaps that's a blessing in disguise given that Murphy's Law indicates that it would be on the one unit you didn't want flying around), but at any rate I *do* know that you're much better off giving her Winged Shoes or some such. Plus it saves you the fatigue of casting Flight, and frees up an extra slot for your casting script. Make sure she's got some reinvigoration items, too, as flying tends to eat up fatigue quite a bit.
