Default Re: Should returning be overridden at all?

One of the most compelling reasons that Returning should be capable of being overridden is that (to my knowledge) no other spell is immune to overriding. Also, it's no more or less "faulty" than all sorts of other AI decisions, whether ill-advisedly following a script, ill-advisedly breaking it, or just extra-script casting, any of which may devastate a battle plan or otherwise cause ruin.

Taking into account the AI's foibles is a dimension that has to be learnt along with everything else.
