[Nagot Gick Fel]

Strange. I never have this problem with Bards.

I leave some behind with my more powerful battlemages and they usually default to Soothing Song when their script runs out, which is exactly what I want them to do.

The others I deploy close to the front line, and even if they cast a few buffs on themselves, most of their time is spent casting Tangle Vines on the enemies and Protection on my shock troops, which is exactly what I want them to do.

What orders do you give them exactly, and what deployment do you use?

Also, there aren't that many buffs available with Nature-1. Do you mean they cast the same spell on themselves repeatedly?
