I've also had problems with hell power not giving a bonus before, never really investigated it. Does it work for most people?

Hellpower needs 3 slaves and can only be cast correctly by a b3 mage afaik.

I'm assuming he's using a slave to increase his level right?

Wouldn't that go over the 1 "gem" per level limit on a spell cast? Or, does blood disobey that with slaughtering those slaves? If he's blood 2, he cannot spend 4 slaves to cast a blood 3 spell because it's using too many "gems"

Well, iirc I had a similar problem (trying to hellpower a vampire count) and he cast hellpower without getting anything out of it and imediately cast another spell (before the enemy cast his spells), which is buggy.
I've always supposed that a b2 mage could use 2 slaves max.
I think the AI doesn't get that during spell selection tries to cast the spell, generating "x has cast Hellpower", realizes that he can't cast it and tries to cast another spell instead ("x has cast spell y").

That limit only apllies to how many gems/slaves the mage can spend for one level boost plus fatigue reduction, not to the casting cost of the spell.
