I just had a battle where an Amazon Sorceress (A1S1) was scripted to cast Wind Guide and didn't. No reason given or anything. I had 2 air gems on her, one for the spell and one to boost the path. It was in a big battle so there was definitely a use for it. She just didn't wanna.

It's pretty hard to script for big battles when half the time, your mages don't cast what they're told to, and when they do, they often burn up more gems than KO says they're supposed to be able to.

I AM THY GOD, MAGE! CAST THE DAMN SPELL LIKE I TOLD YOU! AND DON'T USE MORE THAN 1 GEM FOR FATIGUE/PATH BOOST PURPOSES! OR I SWEAR, I'M COMING DOWN THERE!

Eh, it was a couple turns ago. She still casted spells, just not the very important one I wanted her to!

She's A1, so she can't use two gems.

Exactly. Amount of gems that can be used == your level in the path in question.

Power of the Spheres, wait few turns until fatigue drops below 100, Wind Guide would have worked.

I could swear that they have been casting it other than that one incident.

If so, it's a bug that only manifests under special conditions. Or you used communion or Storm Power or something else.
