Erolcha casting two spells in 8 auts, bug?

[Fingolfin]

I was fighting Erolcha in melee and she casted two spells in the same turn, a crystal spear and a bolt of cold (thankfully both missed), while I was slashing her with my 0.8 turn - delay axe. Now I know that energy randomization makes it impossible to predict when a monster will act precisely, but two spells (20 aut unless it's different for monsters) in an 8 aut interval seems strange to me. Bug?

Did you have a shield?

Edit. Energy randomization affects just movement, it does not allow monsters to attack twice in a row.

I probably had a buckler, not sure. However the 0.8 delay is not the mindelay of the weapon (it was a war axe of speed) but the delay that was printed next to the turncount after I attacked.

Maybe Erolcha was hasted?

The spellset roll that gives Erolcha LCS and Bolt of Cold doesn't contain haste, although one of her other spellsets does. She'd have to have been hasted by an outside source, or with a potion. According to the wiki, though, the Haste spell was removed in 0.19 but is still listed in her spellsets, so who knows. I'd expect to see something like this if the player was slowed AND Erolcha was hasted...

The player spell was removed, not the monster spell.

I was slowed but I had also drunk a potion of haste, which was still active after the slow status expired so that's not it either, and Erolcha wasn't hasted.

Actually, the spellset roll that gives Erolcha LCS and Bolt of Cold is the only one that contains haste.

Once again, the pitfalls of "but the wiki says..." rears its head.

Did you die? No? Then it's a bug.

Not only that, they weren't even hit.

SEVERE BUG!
