An air elemental yells 'Die Conjurer, you brandishing fool!' An air elemental is surrounded by a pink outline. An air elemental decimates you! An air elemental devastates you! An air elemental decimates you! A black abishai devil is in perfect health. Just doesn't seem right.. shouldn't they be treated on par like cabal mates? Please let me know if I can expect this reaction with all offensive orientated brandishing.
