Teleporting Magic Eaters

During the Urdlen Quest, a Magic Eater summoned after I fell teleported at me while I was bleeding on the floor and fugued me without provocation. I assume this is a bug, not sure if it's one off.

I dont think it's a bug. Just bad luck.

Was it one of your spellcasts that summoned it? Like... You cast, get hit down to the ground, it summons and attacks you?

Generally the AI locks them on to the caster who summoned them, but if that caster isn't available, they will go after anything.

Nope, the Magic Eater had nothing to do with me. And, I'm not really sure bad luck could've happened in a Magic Eater randomly teleporting out of combat it was in, at someone who was lying on the floor. It might be, but to me it sounds like there might be a problem somewhere with the AI scripting.

Sounds like what phase spiders do, go for the weakest member of the group- which happened to you at the moment.

It's bad luck mate.

MATE.

Actually fun fact about magic eaters. Seemingly once all the buffs are gone from one person they'll switch to another, then once thats gone they'll go to the person with the most magical equipment and if none are present they vanish.

Or I could be just paranoid as hell!

I'm fairly sure the AI isn't that brilliant at all. Either way, mage eaters are random spawns as well; depending on your location, somebody could have entered the area and triggered them.

We were in a quest area, during a boss fight and I'm pretty sure the only one casting was the urdlenite priestess and she was on the other side of the room.
