So, is this a bug or a feature?

You trace an intricate sign that contorts in the air while forcefully invoking Dark Catalyst...
Your spell is ready.
>search dog
You gesture at a hunch-backed dogmatist.

... 60 points of damage!
Blow to back crushes spinal column.
Talk about no backbone!
The hunch-backed dogmatist lies weakly upon the floor. "Why hast ye forsaken me m'lord, served you well I did!" beckons the dogmatist in a desperate prayer.

A deafening explosion rocks the area as a beam of light shines down from high above and onto the dogmatist. The hunch-backed dogmatist appears rejuvenated!
You feel 4 mana surge into you!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

You search the hunch-backed dogmatist.
You discard the dogmatist's useless equipment.
It had 73 silvers on it.
You gather the remaining 73 coins.
It had nothing else of value.
A hunch-backed dogmatist crumbles in upon herself, her skin flaking away as if it only served as an outer shell.


Few seconds later..

Feature. You got to the body before their god did. All is fair in looting and life.

I'm thinking it's a PsiNet feature, seeing as how I don't think it's possible (outside of scripting, which you apparently weren't doing) to enter search X before cast X goes through and have it work. Or maybe I'm overthinking this.
