BUG: Hydregion ex: Obsidian + Sparking Crystal

Options

Hi, have encountered this bug several times. Decided to report after losing a game to it. Would love to see it resolved.

Hydregion ex (Tera). Action: Obsidian. Requirements: 1x Dark, Psychic, Steel, and Normal energy.

I regularly pair Hydregion with: Dark, Psychic, and Luminous Energy. And a Sparkling Crystal.

This will sometimes allow Obsidian, and sometimes without reason it will not. My last game the action was disabled because of a missing Normal energy, despite having the above valid attached energy and item.

Any advice?

Many thanks.

    Is it possible that jamming tower was in play? That cancels the effect of sparkling crystal.
