Omen Sceptre Bug? Spawns 100 reviving minions of 80/90 spirit with only 300 Spirit

So I just encountered a funny game-breaking bug with an Omen Sceptre and Reviving Minions.

Level 50 Blood Witch on new League. Just got an Omen Sceptre which gives +48 Spirit, +35 Mana, 20% reduced attribute requirements, and allies get 5% attack speed.

Total Spirit = 287 (w/ bugged Sceptre)

I'm using 3 different Reviving Minions using the -12% Reservation passive:
Warrior Transcendent (80 Spirit)
Vaal Overseer (90 Spirit)
Viper Legionnaire (80-Spirit)

I'm sitting at 92 Int, not enough to use my Lvl 42 Withered Wand (requires 95 Int, but my old Sceptre gave +10 Int). So when I tried equipping the Sceptre, all my spells are now unable to be used, but wand is still "equipped".

Before bug, I'm using 257 Spirit with 1 of each minion (plus some passive spirit/support gems) with no issues, then when I equip this Omen Sceptre (with wand in main-hand), my whole Spirit usage goes down to 100 (still 1 of each minion), with about 200 spirit left over. I saw that I could edit the # of minions, and somehow ended up with 3 of each with 22 Spirit leftover (my brain tried and eventually stopped trying to figure out the math re: game crash later on). I was right before the cemetery Countess boss and I didn't want to test the game's limits cuz all my DPS was on Chaos, so I thought I'd just use my previous "bug-free" build, and save the weirdness for after.

Few minutes later, I leveled up and got enough Int to use my wand, and so I equipped both my wand and the Omen Sceptre. But then the whole minion shenanigans stopped there and I was back to 1/1/1. I defeated Count Lachlan so I could refund the Int and the shenanigans returned. I tested it out a bit cuz I thought I might be able to just spawn an infinite amount, and I could get away with a combination of 1/1/5 of the minions respectively. A bit more messing around and I replicated spawning 3/3/3 of the relevant minions. I found I could just have the Omen Sceptre equipped w/o a wand and still have the bug active, and being able to swap between my bug-free build and my bugged build on command. Couldn't use my wand or any spells, but it seemed like the game was fine with me just existing with my squad, and swapping back-and-forth whenever I wanted. Spent a few more minutes just playing around with minion numbers, and then my game crashed.

Tried relaunching and replicating bug with wand + Omen Sceptre, game-insta crashed. Tried again, but with wand + old sceptre in one build and Omen Sceptre only secondary build AND the game uncapped the minion limit and I got to 4/40/40 of each minion respectively, costing about 6000 spirit. I was able to click the increase minion button up to the 70's before the game started getting laggy with dead minions spawning in. I'm currently able to have the bugged build have 4/3/0 minions, spells still unusable but now I got 4-more body guards than I had a few minutes ago.

Don't know how any of that happened, don't know if it's the Omen Sceptre I got or the Reviving Minions, so here I am.
