[0.981][bug?] Mana Shield and auto resolve

I have recently been trying out mana shield (way to overpowered in my opinion - but that's another story).  When using auto resolve my hero's are taking actual physical damage rather than the damage being deducted from the mana pool.  Not sure if this is intended or a bug, but thought I should mention it.

Typically auto-resolve does not use any spells, to better conserve your mana (earlier versions could totally drain your mana when, say, fighting a single wolf with your level 19 super-archer), which is probably why your hero didn't use mana shield.

But I think also the enemy doesn't use spells, making killing spell-casting enemies really easy.

Ok thanks guys, but still a bit odd that enchantments are not taken into consideration.  Perhaps the AI was concerned that my 18K mana pool was not enough. :P
