Hi,

For some reason, item_action didn't work as expected in DM. The goal was to instantly create a firestaff_gem in the mouse hand.
I set it up that way, activated by the amalgam_gembare, with firestaff as an opby (and destroy=true to make sure the hand was free).

I avoided the bug by using a qswapper instead. Might be a problem of sync: the item_action firing before the firestaff in hand is destroyed.

Yes, that's the issue. The opby item is destroyed only after triggers operated by it are handled. This is normally desirable.
Using a swap is probably the sanest and most elegant solution.
