Azrael ligthtsword bug
Brought to you by:

When a zombie steal lighning sword while I'm using usual sword to kill them, sometimes lightning sword keeps swishing in air.
A related bug, or feature — sometimes when Azrael defeated it's impossible to get back stolen items. So I have had to replay the battle several times until no items was stolen.

Can't reproduce the bug as reported, but I guess it's because I was switching weapon while being held by zombies (LS got out of power)
I'm sure the sword staying in the air is a bug. But I think the possibility of losing items permanently is a feature of the Azriel boss fight - and the Grimlore boss fight too. The game chooses the item that the zombie will steal randomly, but it chooses it from a list of items that are not essential for completing the main quest. In the latest revision, you can find that list at trunk/src/enemy/zombie.c starting at line 353.
The list of items you might lose in the Grimlore boss fight can be found at trunk/src/boss/grimlore.c starting at line 2718, and the list of items you lose permanently upon entering the frozen waste is at trunk/src/item/item_remover.c starting at line 81.
