It's working as intended; the caster doesn't get to act the same turn they resurrect due to a technical limitation (which admittedly is disappointing to me also), but the spell is designed to be useful regardless.

It's certainly a niche spell--probably best used in the late game with an already-tough character.

Fair enough. I was trying it out as a mechanism for a heavy nuking mage that could deal pretty crazy damage at a close range, but sadly he often can't survive that dead turn. Oh, well! Audacity is still absurd in close range- Flare, Heat Metal, Burning Touch are all 1 AP 1 turn cooldown!

...unfortunately the other touches don't feel so great; in particular, Shocking Touch feels just bad frankly. It's hard enough to apply 1 debuff ,let alone 2 stacks for a CC.
