Strange bug/feature with Isha

[Majere]

This started happening, or at least I started noticing it happening, when I over-levelled Isha clearing the Mysterious Room. If I use Auto, and she has enough SP, she uses her ice rune as you'd expect. But if she doesn't have enough SP, something very odd happens.

She doesn't show the 'rune activation' icon or power-up as if she's about to cast, but when her turn to act comes she seems to 'cast' a random top-level offensive spell. I've seen her do fire, light, dark and I think wind so far. These spells hit for the normal (i.e very high) damage, but cost her NO mp. If the spell ends the fight, which it very often does, she reacts as if she got the final kill, so the game definitely thinks it's her casting.

Anyone else seeing this? Is it definitely a bug, or some sort of hidden/ secret feature of Isha that's tied into the character?

She's got high speed. She's using rune shards you've gotten as drops from previous fights. You've got them set to use items still when you Auto.

I saw this happening as well and almost made the same post until I figured it out.

Yeah, if you don't specifically change your auto-battle setup to disallow items, and you have runeshards, casters will throw 'em out like candy.

Rather annoyingly I just figured this out myself when I went to test it further. Ah well, it's not like I needed the things!
