In addition to the original "let's just randomly throw around curses, hey Spell Blast is a curse, I'll do that" AI, the previous updates allowed the AI to comprehend the meaning of Spell Blast.
The AI can now cast Detect Magic, and intentionally cast Spell Blast at specific players if they see a spell they do not want coming.
Furthermore, even without Detect Magic they can do the same against Spell of Mastery.
This is the current full list of spells they prefer to blast. Let me know if you think something is a large threat to the AI and is not on the list, or the opposite, it's on the list even though it's not going to help the player win against the AI any more then average spells.
Spell of Return was intentionally removed in the current not yet public update because it both has problems (the AI keeps blasting it because it restarts) and also because blasting it is not allowed to the human player, nor is it a good game mechanic.
Note that diplomacy still applies to Spell Blast as usual for curses : if there is no Hostility, Spell Blast won't be used, however, Spell of Mastery now properly ensures a war breaks out so this should not be an issue.
