Communions Bug

[vfb]

I wanted to confirm that a Crystal Matrix would boost a priest who only had H1 or H2, and no "real" magic paths, so I set up a test game with 16 communicants and a H1 priest.

Good news is it does turn my H1 into an H4.

But for some reason the H1 priest (Dumnacus the Vergobret) can cast 4 spells per round. I'm pretty sure I saw something recently on this, but cannot track it down with search. And it's not in the bug shortlist.

He's scripted for 5 * Sermon of Courage (since that's sufficient to test the H2+ boost, which is all I was really worried about).

But in the first round my Vergobret casts:
Sermon of Courage, Divine Blessing, Holy Avenger, Holy Avenger.

The opposing army finally gets to move, and then the Vergobret casts:
4 * Holy Avenger

Another move for the opposing army, then the Vergobret lays down a wicked quadruple Smiting, and it's all over.

No bless other than +2 Morale. I can't figure out why he can cast 4 spells per turn. Any ideas?
