Singing scimitar not returning empower point

[TheMetaphysician]

I have Sasha's Singing Scimitar and chose the Refreshing Finale upgrade (returns 3 chanter phrases and 100% chance to return an Empower point when you empower an invocation). Initially, it worked fine. Now it only returns the chanter phrases, not the Empower point.

 

Edit: well, that's weird. I gave it to my other chanter character and it returned the Empower point for him. It doesn't return it for Pallegina, but does for my main character.

I'll bump this once, to get some more views. It is somewhat annoying to have a potentially build-centering ability of a weapon working on one character, but not working on the one I want it for.

So I had the same problem and at first thought I somehow misunderstood the effect and tried to post in the builds and strategy section of the forum, but it seems this might be a bug. I did the same thing you did to test it out, I gave it to another one of my chanter companions and it returned the Empower point initially but every subsequent battles afterwards it would fail so I opened the Character Sheet and noticed the "Refreshing Finale (Sasha's Singing Scimitar): +1 Empower points" under current effects and that my Chanter watcher main has "Sasha's Singing Scimitar: +1 Empower points" also as a permanent effect even though the weapon wasn't even equipped. My guess is that this is probably what is causing the bug but anyways I've attached some photos on what I am talking about and hopefully someone can take a look at this.

Decided to make a new account to post about this too since I am experiencing the same bug which is really frustrating since my watcher is a Chanter and I wanted to use this enchant. As both of you mentioned above, the refreshing finale upgrade worked once and then it just stops working and I think your onto something there with the character sheet. For now I have reloaded a previous save and went with the encore upgrade instead since this is not working but I hope this gets more views to get the attentions of more people and devs since I really want this to gets fixed so I can use it for another playthrough.

but i don't understand the ability at all - it basically means you can repeatedly empower lvl 3 invocations constantly without a break or am i seeing that wrong?

[democlaw]

From what I understand, you can still only empower once per encounter but the empower point is returned to you which means that you don't have to rest to replenish said points.

oooh ok now i get it...the action speed bonus seems quite small...whats the max nr of phrases you can hold, like 5? thats 10% bonus....meh
