I've had the exact same problem, but not with +90 in artifacts.  I
had a 46 reveal spell with a +30 artifact and got that response 2 turns
in a row.  I transfered another +35 to the same mage and specified the
hex I was in (even though according to the rules you don't have to)
and I've cast it successfully 2 times in a row.  If nothing alse you
may want to specify your hex and try it again.

Good Luck
