**Platform, device and operation system** PC via bluestacks **What were you expecting to happen, and what actually happened** I’m expecting AI enemy to cast when their mana is full Sometimes the enemy just casts even though it doesn’t have full mana **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** So far, I have only noticed this happen with the frost giant in chapter 14 / Skullguard pass **Steps to make it happen again** I does not happen every time. I haven’t seen any pattern to it. Seems almost random I’ve been stuck on this battle for quite awhile. So I have been replaying it for about an hour. When I first noticed the enemy casting without full mana, I assumed it was a visual glitch, because the next try it seemed fine. On another attempt I made my first match in a way that was impossible to cause the AI to fill up and he still cast. The following turn he did the same. I do not think this is a widespread issue. I don’t remember any other battles where this has happened. It doesn’t even happen every time in this battle. If this is indeed a bug, it is going to be really hard to swat. But I have to report it, because that’s why we are here. ---

Has anyone else been encountering this issue? ---

Hey Salty, just an update… I’m about midway through chapter 15 now and have not seen this weirdness again, so far. Also, to be more specific than I was above, during that chapter 14 battle it was happening (for me anyway) no more than 30% of my tries. Likely less. I was using an owl helm (the one that gives 15 mana of 2 colors when you match a big gem 3+) I’m not sure how the enemy mana gain deals with those bumps (or if they just ignore it.) I also have gear that has a chance to pop a big gem. I didn’t make the connection at the time, but the frequency of the issue lines up with the likelyhood that I had triggered the owl helm. Depending on how the enemy mana gain works with the passives from the helm, it could still just be a visual glitch. ---

I’ve been having this issue in PvP. A couple of assassin characters have cast massive damage spells when their bars are only around 75% full. I haven’t noticed it in PvE as yet. I’m not using an Owl Helm. ---

I am also having this issue. I have not noticed any patterns as it happens in story mode and PvP. Enemy type doesn’t seem to matter.
