Almost certainly due to monsters goin mort due to damage from a spell...

Oddly, you dont get double exp when its a weapon spell and then the weapon finishes them off. I see this ALOT while scripting:

Just my thoughts on it...

I'm guessing vitoc probably has it sending messages and potentially also exp out for each individual attacks owner on death without checking to see if there's multiple instances of the same attacker.

If so this would be an interesting way of rewarding damage type casters for their extra effort in battle. Though it would need a little more work to make it play out more fairly in the exp distribution.
