"spell ineffective" Why?

[ancistrus]

I am fighting Irenicus in Spellhold, I cast pierce magic on him and it says "spell ineffective". Ok, thats a bit suspicious, but pierce magic is not 100% reliable, I guess he might have Spell trap.

So I cast Ruby ray of reversal next, and it says "spell ineffective" and i am becoming slightly infuriated.

I guess he could have Spell trap and spell immunity: alteration... but then I checked the combat log AND I used ctrl+q to get him into my party and he never casted those spells, nor had them active.

So what excuse could he possibly have to just ignore both of those? Is there some game mechanic I am not aware of? Are these spells not displayed as icons after i use ctrl+q?

 

I am attaching weidu log, however, I am looking for some explanation related to base game mechanics or SCS. If there is some weird conflict with some other mod then i dont think there is any chance to figure it out anyway.

Casting spell removal at someone with a spell shield gives this message, although the first incoming removal stopped should also take the spell shield with it.
