Oracle Mask description inconsistent with actual card behaviour

[Denolven]

NAME: Oracle Mask description inconsistent with actual card behaviour

DESCRIPTION: Oracle Mask provides a buff to buildings, which then buffs units near that building. The card says it works on allied buildings and allied units. But it actually works only on OWN buildings and allied units. Tested twice with different setups - a community member helped to verify. So either the card text is wrong, or the behaviour is bugged. Said community member told me that it used to affect allied buildings as well (I can't verify that statement).

REPRODUCIBILITY: 100% (as far as I could test, see additional information). Steps to reproduce:

1. go T3 in a game with at least two allied players
2. build a small test setup: Oracle Mask building and a unit next to it. Both players do this, and send an additional unit to the allied building.
3. activate Oracle Mask and see which units/buildings get buffed.

SCREENSHOT/VIDEO: The following gallery contains replay screenshots of 3 different test cases (files are named accordingly), with selected units/buildings to check their buffs. ADDENDUM: Note that some of the screenshots show both players using Oracle Mask at the same time. This was by accident and doesn't change the findings described above. I'm too annoyed to create the screenshots again after spending 90 minutes on this report - my apologies. Instead, I added a saved replay of the test we did.

LOG: see attachment - I needed to compress the file because it exceeded the allowed maximum file size of this forum (original file is 6 MB)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: I'm playing on Linux, by using Steams compatibility layer and adding Skylords Reborn as an external game to my Steam library. That SHOULDN'T be an issue, but who knows - old software used to have problems with interoperability. I recommend verifying the issue on a 2-Windows-players setup, since that is what is officially supported by the project.
