This makes a lot of sense if Argrath was involved in the mistake. However I'm not sure where the magical resources would come from to do it. Most Sartarite resources are committed to Broyan and defending Whitewall at this point. Could be that Argrath tried with totally inadequate resources and found himself facing a several mastery deficit against the Lunars. Success/success turning into Fumble/Critical - just as well the Lunar weren't trying to kill him.
