The log shows the rolls for resisting the enslavement and shows the Ashen Angel resisted the enslavement. The animation for the enslavement is probably intended to appear whether it works or not, as happens with some other types of magic attacks - the animation indicates the attack, not the success.

The Turn 8 log starts off with magic effects happening to the TO - does the Ashen Angel's built-in Bane Blade cause Decay? Or did it have some other effect that might strike at the start of the turn:
"blastsqr: unr8527 x22 y9 aoe1 dmg5 eff1003 spc640 as10157 al9
blastsqr: unr-1 x21 y10 aoe0 dmg20 eff2 spc20608 as1317 al4"
Maybe the failed morale check is a red herring, and actually happened after this magic square blast killed the TO?

Or maybe an Ashen Angel assassination is different from a conventional assassination in that broken units are removed? Because the log does show: "broken unit 8527 removed from bg"
