it seems, for the console ai, they had to score spells in some kind of way in order to decide their priority over gem matching

This priority is generally higher than skull matches, but that is all dependent on what steps that spell has (e.g. summoning a troop with a full team is pointless, so that lowers the priority of the spell, where if there is room to summon, it has a higher priority)

i dont see it as a waste of time
