Welcome!

definitely prioritizes tome of fire when switching now. if you're using an elemental staff then yeah that might be an issue

yes elemental staff, and no tome of fire im an ironman and didnt get one. even without tome Fire Wave is still stronger then Ibans blast now due to the elemental weakness to fire spells so i use that.

i dont even see how autocast would be set without equipping your staff, am i missing something?
