Anmalice interrupting auto-explore when wielded by pet (Worm That Walks)

[Kain Yusanagi]

Since Worm That Walks has such a massive penalty to its damage output (-60% all) it usually is used as a proc engine instead, giving it weapons that it can activate on hit effects with to debilitate and debuff. When I picked up Anmalice, I thought it'd be perfect for it, since it "Torments target with many mental effects", and it does work pretty darn great! ...except for the fact that it keeps interrupting auto-explore because the stupid thing keeps eyeing me, even though my WtW most definitely isn't hitting me! Really don't think that it should be activating on me, let alone interrupting auto-explore when it does so. Side note, the debuff says it reduces my mental save by 5, and increases my mindpower by... 0? Is that normal, or is it because it's on my WtW? I thought it'd be a higher powered debuff/buff.
