I've decided to replay skyrim, but I've realised that a creature mini mod I was working on I left incomplete, and have encountered on of my creatures that isn't working. For the life of me I cannot work out why.

It's supposed to be a ghost dragon priest which blasts the player with draining spells while they are dealing with dragur. Unfortunately, all it does is avoid the player, not cast any spells, and behaves like a meat shield. It's AI is set to be agressive, foolhardy and to help friends & allies.

It has the following spells:

AbDragur

crMagickaRecovery02

GhostAbilityNew

GhostResistAbility

InvisibilityVampiric

PLX_BEASTS_Levelled_Spell_Phantoms

PLX_BEASTS_Phantom_Paralyze

The levelled spells are designed along this template:

Drain Health 3, Drain Magicka 1, Drain Stamina 1 (cost 5)

The Paralyze spell is:

Paralyze (Low Skill), Stagger Push, Generic Frost Damage: Health/Stamina (cost 76)

The idea being it blasts you with a paralyze, then drains you with the draining spell.

For the life of me, I cannot work out why it doesn't attack. I'm starting to remember now why I dislike the Creation Kit

There's also a Combat Style for any actor, and if it's set to "melee-only", for example, you might not get any spells cast.
