Skeleton Minions not summoning until Volitile Dead is cast

Hello, I've ran into an issue as a witch, where my skeleton minions would not automatically summon. I did unequipped my items, reassigned spirit to where the 2 skeleton minions would be considered free. I'd also tried to unassigned every spell gem where I would think it would cause conflicting issues, but I gave up, re-equipped my gear and decided to just roll with it solo. It was until then, I cast Volatile Dead, all 5 skeleton minions just appeared a long with Volatile Dead. Now they are slaying like the dirty boners they are.

If any other new witch players are having the same issue, and you have this spell on your items. Try casting Volatile Dead while you have spirit assigned to your minions. I hope this helps, if there are any other solutions I should be aware of in the future, please let me know!
