8019b0b8 0 - Reflect and Ability Usage. 8019b100 1 - Unit Rangefinder. Will loop through all abilities until it finds an ability with targets in range. Merges into main routine when successful. 8019b160 2 - AoE Evaluation. After determining if there is an AoE, determines if it can hit any other unit in time. 8019b1cc 3 - Spell CT vs Target CT. Evaluates all units for CT timings. 8019b240 4 - Targetable Unit List. 8019b2c0 5 - Simply finds the highest priority unit in range, compares to high score, then exits. Every other decision above 8 is also redirected here as well. 8019b068 6 - Math Skill Evaluation. Loops itself until the Math Skill Evaluation is complete. I do not know how it breaks out of this loop. 8019af74 7 - The Main Routine. Initialize Ability Data, then determines Random Use, Target Map, and Crystal/Treasure Check. Resets to itself or will go to 1 when it needs to rangefind units. 8019b094 8 - Positioning Check. The final part of Target Map evaluation. Is the unit in the right place to correctly use this ability? Elemental/Monster Skill/Water Depth are checked in the subroutine. Compares ability priority to highest priority score then exits.
