Minor minor minor bug. Imbue Champion hickup.

Casting Imbue champion from a solo champion alone as a stack but standing in the same space as a second stack - 1 recruited champion, It asks to cast give up four essence, then asks it again, then crashes the game. 

Unusual situation I know, caused by one unit walking to a different location to the channeller landing on the same space and making two stacks. Then the champ sent to the channeller to be imbued joining the wrong stack. Imbue cast after still moving figure ejected from stack and sent along. By a glance it is caused by the spell trying to apply to the channeller. Then again a selection button for the target inside the stack for giant strength and Imbue would be helpful and stop wrong targetting.

Alas EWOM - unlike MoM (and that way wasn't perfect, either) - has no way to target a particular unit in a stack. The only workable way to place enchantments is to move the target unit out of the stack.

If I was to wish for a perfect feature, I'd wish for a selection list of the target stack, where illegal units are very visibly crossed out  (already has the enchantment, trained unit and imbue...) and mouseover on a unit would foldout a list of the unit's current enchantments.

Good point, Robert, I fully agree!

Yes only the soverign can cast the imbue.

It would be nice if they simply applied the stack ejection scroll list to the targetting of the spell as it already programed.

Another thing that tripped me is the annoyance of casting imbue a new champ and don't see another champion already imbued still in the stack and he simply gets a boost to his essence from your pool. Or an experianced champ who isn't imbued taking control of a stack so you have to leave him behind to get a weaker umbued to the lead to teleport the stack.
