Modding spells is much less than ideal in many circumstances. The AI has no knowledge of the spell and therefore will not weight nor cast it.

Similiarly, it is a frustrating feature that carefully scripted orders go awry as the AI makes its own weighting.

It would be interesting if there were a modding method, and an ingame option table, where one could creating weighting tables.

For the ingame option - it would perhaps only allow you to create a table of maybe 5 entries. And you could add up to 100 weighting for up to 5 spells. Or deprecate 5 spells by a like amount.

This weighting would be added to the AI determined weighting value. Since the same table would be used in all random events, battles, assassinations etc it still prevents micromanaging while allowing players to hopefully have some better control, especially on really important battles.
