[.91 Bug] Mana Blast and Sheild bug

from Elemental Forums

Unable to cast either after earning them with quest.  No matter what the conditions, always says spell interrupted.  Same thing happens with "dragon kill" spell given during a different quest.

The mana blast bug is very annoying and game breaking since I can no longer auto play any of the tedious tactical battles since the a.i tries to cast it constantly just to fail and waste my mana.

Not sure the "Mana Blast" bug is reported, so want to add that whenever I cast "Mana Blast" it fails to do anything, but still reduces my precious mana and takes all the time it "should" take.

I'm wondering if you are accidently canceling the cast by right clicking the target.  The next patch will provide a warning if you right click (which typically cancels the spell) to keep players from accidently doing it on ones with a casting time.

You are right... EXCEPT I had all my 8 mana blast cancelled when the enemy countered 1 of them, so something is amiss....

Ah yes I see what you mean, thanks for the reply Derek.  So it is by design that while casting a unit can become "active" again?  I suppose that allows some flexibility if battle conditions change and you want to move or something instead of cast the spell.  I don't recall one of my units ever becoming active while preparing to cast fireball for instance, but perhaps it was just because their initiative was so high?

After now being able to use it 4 or 5 times, every unit has resisted for me as well, not sure if that is just bad luck though.

Resisted? I was talking about 9 stopped mana blasts out from 1 counter-spell, not resisting, just being canceled.
Have a pretty late-game save lying around for random testing ;)
