**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
I expected Natureborn Wolf to hit a chosen enemy and ‘Select an Enemy’ sign to appear; instead, the screen kind of dimmed in the middle of the spell. I can click on any part of the screen, I can retreat from the battle, but can’t finish the spell.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
It happened with Hawthorn and Natureborn Wolf 5 times during today’s class trail. I was able to finish a spell twice by mindlessly clicking a few dozen times, but in most cases I had to retreat and lose a sigil. It only happens to the troops that I have to manually assign the action for.

**Steps to make it happen again**  
Try to cast a spell with Hawthorn or Natureborn Wolf. It happened even without hero in a deck.

I am not sure, if you are completely correct. I believe, the issue is also caused by the “Born of X” traits. However, the article you have included clearly states: “When a ‘Born of X’ Trait triggers and you **cast another Spell that interacts with the game board** , the game can freeze.” OP now reports, that the casted spell is **not** making use of any gem on the board, but targeting a specific enemy.

This is a new piece of information, at least for me. For example, during the first Journey, I was always careful when casting Sycorax, but never bothered when casting Wild Queen. Seems to be important for pure faction runs in the new delve this weekend…
