Had my first battle with a latern shield (auto-casting corpse candle) and was very disappointed. Anyone used it sucessfull ?

Maybe it was a bug or just bad luck, but my very good equipped Succubus (wielding a latern shield) attacked an Tien-Chi priest. The priest summoned skeletons. The latern shield produced 2 green tears who attacked the skeletons. My Succubus stood around idle, doing nothing. After 50 turns, i lost the battle. I understand that the decay effect of the corpse candle is wasted against undead beings, but why was my Succubus doing nothing ? She had a blood thorn, amulet of luck, stone boots, cat charm, Sun Helmet and was not fatigued.

I would love to hear storys about sucessfull use of corpse-candle / latern shield. I searched the Boards and found nearly nothing. Any comments ?
