"Hey Lackey, give that mage a fever fetish."

(spoiler: fever fetish turns HP to fire gems killing the person using it)

Five commanders were tasked with casting an absolutely critical spell with no gem requirement. None of them ever cast the spell or developed any fatigue. They whole battle milling around pointlessly while all of my other ranged attackers did their business. And when I checked the scripts on the survivors they were exactly the same scripts that I used in successful SP simulations.

I either hit a bug or ran into some undocumented bull**** mechanic. Neither one would surprise me too much, but it couldn't have happened at a worse time.
