That gives you five spells, not four.
Perhaps Vigabrand has been playing shapechangers, in which case you usually only have 4, given the lack of "shapechange and attack" and "Shapechange and cast spells". Shapechange has to be the 5th scripted.

And the AI isn't even bright enough, lacking explicit instructions, to keep it from killing off melee monsters (like the CD) by having them casting spells, if they aren't explicitly instructed to attack.
