Steps:
1. I would 'Engage' then deploy automaton, it will cast one spell.
2. I 'Provoke' and pull mob back from spawn. The automaton might cast one or two more spells then cease all casting after.
3. I will attempt using Maintenance or Repair with Automaton Oil +3 and no change in behavior.
4. I then will Deactivate then Activate and the puppet will resume casting...one spell then stop.
