Are you sure that what you said is correct Taqwus? Because it seems to contradict manual. According to it first the spells are casted in random order (just like you said). It is done in pahse 7, IIRC. *Then* the magical battles are resolved. It is done in the next phase, after casting of spells - phase 8.

And since 2 spells teleport SC/army into different provinces in phase 7, it seems that there could be no battle in phase 8.

I am not 100% sure of it, but that what manual seems to say. It could be wrong though. Have you ever managed to catch teleporting army/SC with combat spell or with teleport of your own?

Things happen in the order they are reported in the turn log. You are right about teleport, call of the winds, astral travel... battle happens if two armies are in the same province after all spells are cast.

But vengeance of the dead, seeking arrow, flames from the sky, possibly earth attack are different. They dont summon units into a province, and you get the result of the spell immidiately in the 'bob has cast a spell' message. So if you are lucky and the spell is cast before the enemy's (enemies' ?) astral travel spell, it should have an effect.
