Does Returning spell work for S1 starspawn priests or only S2 ones when using them at the Void Gate? I tried it out with an S1 priest but he refused to cast the spell and wound up getting killed. Then I did some testing and sent another S1 priest out into combat with a bunch of astral pearls, and he seemed to either cast returning or otherwise disappear when a Count summoned some vampires on top of him. However, when attacking other indie provinces alone, the S1 priest only casts Astral Shield or some other spells instead of Returning. So I'm wondering if this is a bug, or if maybe I'm doing something wrong.

You need an S2. It's an S2 spell requiring 2 pearls. An S1 can only use 1 pearl (unless he's boosted to S2 somehow other than by using extra pearls).

Don't give the S2 2 pearls, give him 4. He can get attacked and lost in space all in the same turn. When you return from being lost in space, you land in a random province. His script will still be Returning, so he will return home if he has 2 pearls left.

The S1 who disappeared may have blinked and run away, possibly.
