Steps:
Detailed steps on how the issue occurred.

When the target of my Thaumaturge become under the effects of abilities such as Stoneskin, where they take 0 damage, the Astral Fire/Umbral Ice buffs cease to refresh and will subsequently fall off, causing rotation and mana issues. Such was the case in fighting Golden Fleece, which casts Stoneskin itself.

Additional Notes:

So, I'm not entirely sure if this is working as intended, but when I noticed that the Astral Fire and Umbral Ice effect for Thaumaturges and Black Mages don't refresh when the target of your spells takes 0 damage from effects like Stoneskin. This quickly becomes painful when you run out of mana from attempting to break the effect, and can't even transpose into Umbral Ice to regenerate mana.

Rather than this being a catch or challenge in rotation, it makes it feel hectic and hindered as it affects our ability to sustain damage output.

Can this problem addressed so that it will at least refresh the Astral Fire or Umbral Ice buff?
