Summary 0007536: Possible to get multiple spectral weapons by taking stairs
Description spectral weapon has a couple of odd behaviors ive found.

first, you can get a second (or potentially more) copy by casting spectral weapon and changing floors when it's not next to you. re-cast the spell it will create a second copy. you can return to the previous floor and have two at the same time.

second, bringing a spectral weapon down a floor has an issue too. the spectral weapon typically wont sit next to you, but instead "run away" to your los or even just disappear from sight completely. it wont come back when you hit things, so you have to resummon for the ai to function again.

I've seen the 2nd behavior in my game.

The second behaviour is fixed in trunk (0.14-a0-520-g79a0f27) and stable (0.13.0-27-gc65393c), thanks! It turns out that changing levels made monsters forget who summoned them, so the SW didn't know where to set its target position. It therefore headed to (0,0).

It still seems to be possible to get two SWs, so I am not closing this bug.

The spectral weapon will still follow you down stairs. If it gets left behind, it poofs away.
