Weird use of gems in battle?

Interesting.

a while ago I posted a write up where the castor was casting TWO spells simultaneously. IIRC it was hellpower, followed immediately by summon imp.

There is additionally, the known bug that allows a priest to double banish.

The only time I see this happen is when a communion or spell boosts the level of the caster.

Obviously, there is a queue which dictates who goes when. I wonder if its possible that the process of updating the queue with the caster's new level is somehow not working.

I don't recall if Summon Living water is a + spell (increased effects for castr level). However, if its not, is it possible do you think that the extra two gems were just casting a summon water elemental out of turn.

Have you looked at the log?
