No zerg flags involved, cast from memory not gem (they still buggy?); I hit these characters on other atttempts, and they shouldn't have phasing (T2 NPCs, pariah and paladin, respectively). The message isn't right for phasing either.

I think I may have also encountered it sometimes when trying to Life Drain wandering imps (clash.php?op=character&id=13667)

- You attack Imp with your Flame Bolt spell and miss. (2022-08-03 21:33:09).

I thought it was just someone using Mutagenic Touch on masterless imps and that some Wyrm Master must've been giggling thinking about how confused I must be, but... if you say the flavour text is wrong for that, maybe it really had to have been a bug? It would definitely be a bug (not such a bad one though, I'd say) if Wyrms managed to mutate NPCs

What phasing looks like:
- You attack Priseth with your Pallid Bolt spell and miss as the attack passes harmlessly through them. (2023-01-11 12:02:46).

A twofer

In my current activity log I find 24 misses and 228 hits with bolt spell. That's about 90% to-hit. I didn't parse out stacked messages or check how many of the misses are legit phasing
