Really annoying spell scripting issue - Bug?

"Touch of Madness" gets scored really high because for some reason buffs are weighted much higher than attack spells. I can't find any way to mod the score lower. Nice stuff like "Storm of Thorns" is stuck at 150 points.

Low fatigue, some kind of buff, what's not to love??

As a side note, "Legions of Steel" is totally hosed as far as score is concerned ... the "Number of effects=5" effectively multiplies its score by 5, to the 6000 range. There's nothing even close. But at least legions is occasionally just a waste of casting time, not actually damaging like madness.

Ah, that explains why unscripted mages like to spam that spell. Even though it's quite useless with the number of effects limited by 5, of course.
