Trigger Spells + Spirit Value Reset Bug [Unresolved]

Running mainhand sceptre + woven focus set-up on my Blood Mage.

The spirit value keeps resetting all of my active skills and buffs that require spirit. Upon attacking enemies, I have about 4 seconds of the set-up working as it should be. After that all of the reserved spirit values are brought to zero, so e.g. 100/100. Unequipping and equiping the scepter/unsocketting and socketing one of the skills/etc. solves the issue for the next 4 seconds of fight (edit: not consistent) xd.

My total spirit value is 191. Currently I have 3 buffs running: Grim Feast, Raging Spirits and Cast on Freeze. This should total to 150 spirit reserved (with 2 support gems for Life Remnants each costing 10 and 20).

Not running a set-up with a 2nd weapon set.

The bug happened upon switching from running scpeter in offhand to mainhand. Since woven focus can't be equipped in mainhand, there is no way around this issue.

Edit 1: Changed to the old set-up wand + scpeter in offhand. The issue still exists. Tried to disable and remove some of the gems, but none of the combinations I have tried actually resolved the issue.

Edit 2: Removed every single gem socket that uses spirit aprat from Cast on Freeze with meta sockets Comet + Concentrated Effect + Impetus. Did some research on "used with weapon set" option. I run only 1 weapon set. I tired enabling the gems for 2 weapon sets and just for one. The issue persists. I tried to create a 2nd weapon set with similar stats for the spirit to make sure that the skill doesnt take the spirit value from the 2nd set. The issue is still present. Pretty much its FUBAR.
Also this issue wasnt present like 2 days ago (12.12.2024)

As you can see, the boss fight ended. This is the state after the trigger spells turning off. Reequipping spirit weapon or gems that use spirit reset the buffs and show them working. After playing a while, they turn off, which can be seen by the missing aura icons (top left) and spirit value reseting (bottom right).

Edit 4: In case the problem could be linked to gear/skills I recreated the build in the planner https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/qf6md0zo

Edit 5: I wated to note that the issue still persists on all spells using spirit, e.g. even if only Grim Feast is socketed. CoF turns off as soon as the first cast goes out. Weirdly enough my Infernalist doesnt have any problems with Cast on Minion Death. The issue is either with the class or the fact that the character is just broken and the spirit values get lost somewhere along the casts.

Edit 6: Issue was not resolved after the 0.1.0e patch (17.12.2024). The only change is that the error message has dissapeared after the turn off point and just shows all of the spirit skills turned off.

Edit 7: I have found the issue... after 8 days of finding it. The issue can be found in those 2 threads:

I am also having this bug. It happened after trying to have cast on freeze on weapon swap 1 and cast on shock on weapon swap 2. It wouldn't turn on/off correctly when swapping so I gave up.

But now cast on freeze won't activate at all, even though I have enough spirit.

Having the same exact issue. I am using a controller if that makes a difference to whoever reads this.

It worked just fine but then I removed it from my skills and when i slotted it back in it no longer works no matter the situation.

When using the controller UI, when the the activation panel opens up, you can switch it off and on, and in that small panel it shows your spirit going down when you toggle it on, however when you back out of that screen and look at your spirit after activating it, your character behaves as if it is not activated even though it is.

It is making my entire game unplayable please fix
