Faathim the Kind's kinetics buffs don't work

[Kai Moon]

In the final mission of the Justin Augustine task force, there's an optional objective that spawns a friendly Faathim the Kind.

 

Faathim's Dispersion Bubble (typed defense only) and Healing Aura affect the players, but Siphon Power and Fulcrum Shift don't. The visual fx will play on the enemies and on nearby players, but no damage buff ever applies.

 

In City of Data, the damage buff pseudopets have "if source.owner>arch eq 'Defender'" and "if source.owner>arch eq 'MasterMind'" checks, but Faathim the Kind is presumably not a defender or mastermind, so both checks seem to fail, and the pseudopets do nothing.

Edit: Checked VM3 release. Same thing happens in VM3. So this bug was likely around in 2012.
