what the heck are my Communion Slaves doing?

1. Why did the Communion Slaves not cast any spells?
2. Why did the Communion Master go out of script on turn 5?
3. Why did a couple of the slaves change their minds and cast a couple of spells at the end of the battle (turn 18).
6. Why does the Communion Master cast worse spells like Banishment or Solar Rays instead of better spells like Holy Pyre?

Well, I can answer these. Communion slaves are not supposed to cast spells, period. But they do in rare cases and no one is sure why . The final spell on the script might have been skiped if it was out of range. As for the AI mixing in weaker spells, the AI uses a random factor, so you can count on it trying almost everything in a long battle.
