I *hate* unscripted Touch of Madness.

[TwoBits]

Count me in the "hate" column too. Often I'll try to keep level 2 or above nature mages out of combat just to avoid this problem.

Heck, if it was merely a matter of a pointlessly wasted spell (think Earth mages spamming Legions of Steel), or even of wasted gems (mage thinks, "hmm, I think we need another puny elemental in this already lopsided battle..."), that'd be one thing.

But this spell gets friendly units killed. And sometimes very valuable units!

I think there needs to be a way to disable the AI from casting certain spells. This has often been suggested before though...
