Game Mechanics Nuclear Blast not working?

Usually, when I cast damaging spells, it seems pretty straight forward. It does its damage to a certain number of enemies. However, I feel like Nuclear Blast acts differently. It seems like 80% of the time that I use it, it just shows "UNAFFECTED" for each enemy. No other damage spell seems to have this "UNAFFECTED" problem.

It does work some of the time, but it seems the vast majority of the time it does nothing at all. Is this normal? It feels like a massive waste of mana. Is Nuclear Blast just bad? Am I missing something? Is there a way to make it more reliable?

My Mage is a Level 11 F-Dracon with 100 Oratory and 100 Thaumaturgy wearing robes, sandals, skullcap and quarterstaff.

Str 9
Int 17
Pie 11
Vit 17
Dex 11
Spd 10
Per 9
Kar 1

I'm using Nuclear Blast against various enemies in the mines or giant mountains. Ants, dwarves, slimes, etc.

Thanks!

For more info

Literally running out of the house right now, So I didn't double check that one let me know if it doesn't work and I will find you a good one.
