1: If there's a battle where I'm attacking with some chaff supported by an astral mage scripted to mind burn x 5, and the defender is a single air mage set to summon air elemental - will my mind burns try to target the mindless air elemental or will they automatically go for the enemy mage?

2: I haven't been able to find out how much damage wrathful skies does. My understanding is that 10% of the battlefield will be hit each turn if there's a storm on, but can one expect all non-resistant normal-hp units in each targeted square to die?

1. Mind burn never goes after a mindless target.

I think wrathful is basically a lot of lightning bolts, so a hit unit with human HP will likely be one-shotted, but I think only 1 unit in the square will take the damage.

worthwhile to remember though that the entire square will take the fatigue damage.

Lightning bolt causes fatigue aoe? I knew thunderstrike did, and fireball, but lightning bolt?
