Why is steam imbue not steam imbuing?

alright, so im an ash conj with a sunken sword. it will not, for the life of it, apply scalded when it hits something. not with a single move. it has steam imbue, it just won’t apply scalded. it only applies soaked. im so unbelievably confused right now, but i dont know if its a bug or if im doing something wrong

upon further investigation, it applies scalded when i hit players, but it also applies soaked for some reason

joined a dif server, works completely fine now
