Hello Daddy,
Since I'm on a testing spree lately, I decided to give your question some attention too.
There are a few things that are useful to know about Mirlanda and dragonflies.
I have explained how exactly Mirlanda's special functions here (third post).
When a dragonfly casts weakness, it endures 3 rounds.
Dragonflies cast advanced weakness. As a result, the enemy's attack skill is reduced by 6.
Now you can see that there are three different sorts of circumstances that needed testing:
-Mirlanda casts first or dragonflies cast first
-Mirlanda's spell outlasts the one of the dragonflies or not.
-The effect of Mirlanda's weakness is larger or smaller than of the dragonflies.
The results are more interesting than I expected at first:
When Mirlanda has cast weakness on an enemy before the dragonflies attack, the weakness attack of the dragonflies is completely ignored (even when the weakness would last longer or be more effective). In other words, dragonflies cannot cast weakness on an already weakened enemy.
When the dragonflies have cast their spell before Mirlanda, then she is allowed to cast weakness. But the attack skill of the enemy will not increase or decrease by it. However, the duration of the weakness spell will be affected if Mirlanda's spell would outlast the one of the dragonflies. An example may be useful for this last case.
Let's say that Mirlanda has no water magic and 10 spellpower and that in round 1 the dragonflies have weaknessed a stack of level 7 units. As a result the level 7 stack will have its attack skill reduced by 6. Now let's say that in the end of that same round 1 Mirlanda casts weakness on that level 7 stack too. This will have no effect on the attack skill of the already weaknessed stack. After round three, the enchantment of the dragonflies is over. However, Mirlanda keeps the enchantment going for a total of 10 rounds. So she actually maintains the -6 attack on the stack, even though if there had been no dragonflies she would only have been able to decrease the attack skill of the stack with 3!
I know it is complicated, but hopefully it is a bit clear now.
ps. It's an old one, but on magic plains, dragonflies cast mass weakness.
Edit 1: I just noticed I kept misspelling that witch's name  .
Edit 2: It occurred to me that maybe I understood the question wrongly. So to be sure: it is not true that dragonflies weaken their enemies more when they are commanded by Mirlanda than when they are commanded by another hero.
