Cleave Gem Bug, Skill can be made useless.

Reason it's a problem:
Anyone accidentally doing this glitch will be WTFing.

I finally learned the steps...

(Sorry, found some stuff inaccurate with these steps, edited, can be understood now)

1. Equip two 1-handed weapons.
One sword/axe with a red socket, and one mace with a red.

2. Assign Cleave to the weapon which it can't use.

3. Move the Cleave gem directly from the mace to the sword.

4. Unequip the mace (right slot) to enable Cleave.

5. You can now use Cleave, but it will not hit anything, it will take the mana cost but not affect any enemies or objects.

Added: Your Mana/Life (in case of BloodMagic) may behave strangely, and you may teleport randomly)

This affects the skill keyboard and mouse keys only, so if you reset those the bug will disappear.

Please post additional info if the same steps affect any other gems.

I wasn't able to reproduce this - But in future, we'll have Cleave just use the weapons that it can use, so this shouldn't be a problem then!

Aww what... I can do it every time I log on!
Also since you can actually cast the skill and it looks real,
anyone encountering this won't know anything's wrong until it's too late.
...I might make a video for lulz :D
Thanks!

Video would be handy! From loading the character getting the bug if possible, so we can see everything that may be happening :P Thanks!

Here it is, the video quality still ticks me off but it should be okay.
