Weapon skin changes in explorable areas

Having a really odd thing happen in explorable areas in Factions. Everytime I use a sephis axe or razorstone (same skin) in explorable areas with henchmen in Factions the skin changes at random moments, sometimes for a few seconds, sometimes for 5 or so minutes. Here's me using a razorstone.

Ritualist weapon skills change the look of your weapon. It's your henchman Ritualist casting weapon skills on you.

yeh its that rit, i was confused too when i first saw this, but then i saw the rit skill that does it and it all clicked.

aha. Cheers guys. Nicely spotted.
