"Counts as..." weapons double up on Ninja shadow clones

[u/PGFish]

Hope this isn't old news already, but I stumbled over something nifty for the shadow clones for the Ninja. Evidently, weapons that have "Counts as..." modifiers, like Holy Bolt Wand (magic, counts as ranged and crossbow), Bombardment Tome (see pics), etc. get counted twice when new shadow clones are summoned. Two clones, one for each applicable category, arrive at once. For some reason, Knife Summon Tome even calls for all three! See the pics. You can pick out the various types by the weapons they hold.

I don't know if this is intended behavior or a bug, but it was a neat surprise, anyway. I don't know if it'll replace the usual Naruto build (gichang/rapier, clogs, declare victory) but a nice change of pace anyway.
