my mages cast crap spells?

Every attempt to script him to do something useful failed until I finally simply told him to attack without casting any buffs first.

Did you try to cast 5 buffs and then attack? Was there already too many summons in play then?

Something that looks fun in the theory at least is to cast Foul Vapors, Shark attack, invulnerability, soul vortex, summon earth power (or fire shield or personal luck or personal regeneration), then attack.

It's been long enough I don't remember what all I tried. What I do recall was that if I scripted any spells the AI did it's own thing and utterly ignored the script.

I had enough good items I didn't have that much use for buffing, anyway. The force I was facing couldn't get past my regeneration even unbuffed.
