The Armor of the Damned only casts its opening combat spells once an allied creature is able to take its turn; if a creature misses a turn due to low morale, the Armor of the Damned does not cast its spells until the next one is able to do so.
The Armor of the Damned's ability to cast 
Slow, 
Curse, 
Weakness, and 
Misfortune, can be mitigated by enemy creatures' immunity, Cursed Ground, or anti-magic artifacts. However, it works normally in Anti-Magic Garrisons.
Cuthbert, 
Olema, 
Mirlanda, and 
Eanswythe's 
specialties will affect the effect of Weakness cast by the Armor of the Damned.
User Commentary
Armor of the Damned is one of the weakest combination artifacts in the game in regards to stats alone (+3 attack, +3 defense, +2 power, +2 knowledge). Conversely, its effect is easily one of the most powerful, casting a total of four spells at Expert level, at no cost, and leaving the hero free to cast another spell on their action (so potentially 5 spells in a single turn). Of the spells cast, only Misfortune is subpar. Slow is one of the best spells in the game and Weakness and Curse are both fairly potent, especially combined.
Since it casts its spells only when your first unit becomes active, Armor of the Damned works best with a speedy unit stack and/or combat speed artifacts. If the enemy moves before you, they may haste their units or slow yours, and cripple your army before the Armor ever has a chance of activating.
