BIND SPECTRE BUG

I have encountered a critical compatibility issue related to the Bind Spectre skill when used with certain sceptres and support gems. Below are the detailed observations:

Initial Setup:

I’m using a level 20, 20% quality, 5-linked Bind Spectre gem, and everything works as intended. I can summon 8 Vaal Guard spectres without any issues.

I then acquired a new sceptre with almost identical stats (same minion level, extra Spirit stat, etc.).

However, when I equip this new sceptre, I receive the error “Not enough Spirit cost” upon trying to summon even a single spectre, despite having 400 Spirit available (full bar).

Notably, this problem occurs only with certain support gems. For instance, when using Minion Mastery Support, the skill becomes unusable. Replacing it with a different support gem sometimes resolves the issue.

Further Testing:

I tested this behavior with other support gems such as Heft and Magnitude, and the result was inconsistent. Some worked, some didn’t.

I also tried a corrupted level 21 Bind Spectre gem that dropped from a Chamber Map. This gem appears to be bugged:

It works correctly only when used alone, without any support gems.

As soon as I link any support gem, the skill becomes completely unusable.

It gives the “Not enough Spirit cost” error, even though my Spirit is fully available (400/400).

I’ve tested this with multiple sceptres and different support gems — the issue remains consistent with this gem specifically.

Additional Notes:

Spirit is fully available (400/400).

Spectre count remains within the allowed minion limit.

Affected sceptres function without support gems, but fail when any support gem is linked.

The same support gems work with other sceptres without issue.

The level 21 corrupted gem appears to be universally bugged when linked.

The summoned spectres in all cases were Vaal Guard.
