Summary0001207: Battle freezes when area spells are cast on empty space
DescriptionWhen you try to cast area spells(fireball, inferno, frost ring, meteor shower) on empty space, you cannot click anywhere, the game doesn't react. Not even the spell animation is done, you just get a shadowed hex in the center of the area of spell casted.
Steps To ReproducePlay a battle and cast any of the aggressive area spells on empty space.
Additional InformationThis might be possible to happen if all creatures in the area resist the spell, but maybe not. The chances for that to happen are very small.

I figured out it's because of weird solution which binds animation with attacked stack. Fixed in r3213, but it feels spell animation needs more generic solution.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain it properly. I should have mentioned that the animations don't work even when the spells do damage to someone. I hope everything will be fixed. And sometimes the game blocks even when you cast inferno on some creatures.
