Demon form removed on spell use from weapons

My demon form gets removed when i cast either Living bomb or Volatile dead, both have the spell tags. They are however both granted to me by my weapons. This seems like a bug, since the tooltip for demon form says that i will revert to human form if a skill that isn't a spell is cast

I suspect skills from weapons should be disabled while shapeshifted.

In demon form your hands are empty. To cast a spell granted by a weapon, your character automatically swaps weapons. You can't hold weapons in non-human form.

going by that logic any stats on weapon should also be ignored then while in demon form? also you can't really see him wearing gear so that should be disabled too then.

Perhaps you see where this is going

Yes, that's why summoners lose minions in demon form.

Shapeshifting literally swaps your weapons to the 3rd weapon set. That's how it works. I'm not talking about some flavor/roleplay stuff here.
Currently demon form disables weapon slots, including stats. I think Jonathan said in an interview that this is not intended and needs to be fixed. Would be terrible design otherwise, as well rolled staves actually provide more stats than demon form (without any of of the downsides), and as you already mentioned, weapon skills also get disabled (which one might want to use with demon form...).

There is a yellow message on your weapon when you shapeshift saying:" this item provide no stats while shapeshifted", i guess this is not a bug but an intended feature, i agree, this is a really bad design in my opinion.
I went full fire build to eventually finish it with demon form then realized that my weapon spell and stats are not applied in it and got greatly disappointed in that build. It's just not worth it to trade weapon for that form. Hopefully they do fix it.
