Arcane Nexus -- Bugged?

[Ctennyson]

I am currently on turn 84 of a Single Player game with R'lyeh. Through a series of misadventures and bad decisions, I am in a losing position, but with a lot of resources, and with the most magical might.

I have all 5 slots filled with my own enchantments, including Arcane Nexus. Other nations are also powerful magically, and casting spells.

2 turns ago, my Nexus absorbed 150 astral gems. My gem treasury went from 14 to 28. My sites produce 14 astrals a turn. The next turn, the nexus absorbed 137 gems. 12 to 26 in gems. This turn, the nexus absorbed 308 astral gems. My treasury for gems again did not move beyond the 14. My symbol is the one for the Nexus, and the Messages says my nexus, where are my gems? Do I not get the gems if I am underwater? in a couple of turns I am going to raise a wizards tower, and teleport my pretender to it, so I guess I'll find out, but this seems bugged.

Edit: For clarification: I have used the spell previously, with success, so I know it isnt just "Always bugged." My main castle is underwater, and my pretender is the Water based Arch Mage, in this case, and the nexus doesnt seem to be working. I cast it while underwater, and thats apparently allowed.
