I guess if that was an issue of targeting/enough troops around the AI would just cast some other spell.

So, usually a mage in melee just attacks. But shockwave is basically a melee-range spell, so i figured he was attacking because he didn't like the available targets.
He also routinely attacked when there were fewer targets and shockwaved when there were more (basically in an AoE centered on him, since he tended to drop the shockwave on top of himself).
