Arallen and Bummer_Duck, if you are actually seeing long strings of alternating air and earth mages, I would suggest that it is a bug, but with the sophistication of random number tables and RNG these days, I believe the flaw would be in the windows OS. If you're using a different OS, I almost can't comprehend the problem. Depending on the actual coding of course, it could be caused by an artifact in the memory of the computer, caused by windows clunky and inefficient memory management.

Reboot, and try again! But be warned random systems do do unexpected things, and thats the beauty of them.
