If you summon an Essential Phantom while equipped with an upgraded Essence Interrupter (Soul Diplomacy in my case), the Phantom doesn't receive the upgrade on their copy of the weapon. While I believe this is standard behaviour for the Phantoms, it does mean that a creature can have two separate instances of the debuff active, and thus spawn two creatures on death. I got a friendly Lesser Black Ooze and a hostile Ogre Pirate. I will test again without the upgrade and see if it still applies two instances.

 

Edit: Using non-upgraded weapon didn't produce two instances of the effect.

Hi thundercleese,

 

That's an interesting find. I've added your issue to our database for further investigation. In the meantime, could you please provide us with your save file without Essence Interrupter upgraded?

 

Thanks!

I will also mention that I used the console to make my testing of all the new weapons easier; this includes adding items I didn't already have, changing classes/abilities and free recipes to test all the enchantments. In case that may have anything to do with it (though I doubt it will).
