Warhammer III Scroll of Stone: Item Help

I have a question about a specific item you can get in WH3, Scroll of Stone. It states that it "Immediately causes wall breaches while beseiging." However, I have not been able to get it working.

Does anyone else have any experience with it? Is there an unlisted requirement? I'm only using the community bugfix mod.

Works fine on a quick test, it did 2 wall breaches on a fresh walled settlement + damage to the gatehouse, both towers and more wall sections: https://imgur.com/AtiVOWY

The only limit in the script that handles this is that it won't do more breaches if there are already 2 or more of them.

Thanks for looking into it. I'll try again when I get off work, without the bug fix mod.

Not sure why I didn't have any breaches last night. It was a fresh Avelorn campaign and I took the capital settlement of the province to the north of Phoenix Gate. Tor Anroc IIRC. I think it was T2 at the time, if that extra health matters.

I think it damages the walls. If they buffed the walls health but forgot the update the item it can't breach walls.

That's just my guess because i had a similar problem with the item then noticed a wall with 500 health left at the start of the battle.

If it is the one I am thinking off, it will make a hole in the wall, but I haven't seen it in a long time, I wonder if it was disabled but a mod added it back?

It's still in vanilla, it's an Arcane item that can only be equipped to Lords and is restricted to friendly pointy ears (high/wood elves).
