[Fixed] Mirror Field & Phantom Force Bug

I've found another strange bug (or undocumented feature, I can't tell) in the battle with Gym Leader Serra. She switched in Froslass on my Shedninja, who had timed everything nicely and performed the first turn of Phantom Force when she switched. On the second turn, before Phantom Force resolved, Froslass attacked with Shadow Ball, and predictably missed... which triggered the Mirror Arena's reflection, which struck and killed Shedinja. Phantom Force is supposed to grant the same kind of semi-invulnerability Fly and Dig do, but without the bypasses available to those moves. Unless Mirror Arena is specifically supposed to bypass this kind of immunity, which is not in the field effect description, it shouldn't be able to damage a creature in the middle of Phantom Force.

I'm pretty sure that this might be caused by the part of the description that says "Single-targeted, special, non-contact attacks that would miss will sometimes be reflected, hitting the target anyway" might be the reason why this happened, as shadow ball fits these conditions. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think it would be the logical explanation.

It doesn't appear to be on the wall of bugs but I can confirm this IS a known issue and has been fixed for E16. While mde is correct, that condition isn't meant to be hitting things in their invulnerable turns, but is. Once again, it seems to have been missed being put on the wall, but it's known and has been fixed.
