Research: Unlike you, the Enemy does not need a hand of Spell Cards; it has 3 Spells always at its disposal, 1 for each Hero. It casts a Spell instead of taking a normal Research Action, gains the VP shown, and then resolve the Spell's effect.

Spells cast by the Enemy can still be interrupted your Spells. If a Spell is copied and turned against the Enemy, you may make choices for the Enemy, such as which Unit or Resources the Enemy loses.

This action will fail if the Enemy does not have the required Resources available to cast a Spell. If a Spell is useless (such as a Spell that affects the area around a Hero, but there are no player Units around to be affected), the Spell is still cast and the Enemy gains the Victory Points.

Note: When the Enemy takes a Research Action, the player can follow it as if it was a normal Research/Scribe Action.
