A surge of colored light sends bolts of pain straight into your eyes!
You are blinded!

Bash allows a skilled warrior to attempt to knock his opponent to the
ground. An opponent who has been bashed is more vulnerable to attacks than
usual and is not able to perform special maneuvers of their own until they
manage to regain their footing. Bashing is especially effective against
casters, as it will pause the act of spell casting and may disrupt their
concentration entirely. Combat casting can create exceptions to this.

This is SO not funny and I am SO not laughing.

Looks like you just got owned. There is nothing here that suggests that bash stops spellcasting 100% of the time. It is paused and it may (which also means that it may not) disrupt the spell being cast. I remember having spells go off even when I was bashed. It was very rare but it happened

the spells might be scripts in that case they would not be affected by bashes?

Are you sure you were "sent sprawling" in these instances?

When you open with a bash or trip the lag time on the NPC just doesnt happen. Sucks but it has been like that since for as long as I can remember. Bash will normally stop casting scripts from starting how ever it will not stop scripts from running if they have a pre casting part to the script bash wont stop them.

I don't think those NPCs are scripted. It just looks like TMF got owned by a bug or some unknown super-mob power.

Are you absolutely sure that you were not fighting a small group?

As in one of the mages was front row, and another behind?

If you were the mage behind could and would still cast.
