Boots & Electromagnet vs. Water Bugs

Earlier today I was doing some testing to see what would happen if I used an artifact (Electromagnet or Boots of Flight) that changes my pawn's physics type, and their interaction with water volumes. I have been planning on making a weapon "of Flight" that grants a Pawn PHYS_Flying, but I wanted to know what sort of interaction the weapon might have with physics volumes that could change a pawn's Physics (ie, water volume).

Apparently, Boots of Flight activate and work fine in water. In fact, I think I actually moved faster in water, oddly enough. However, if you turn the boots off in water, you are stuck and cannot move. The only way to move again is to reactivate the boots. If you deactivate the boots while out of water, you are fine.

The Electromagnet has similar issues while in water. When I activated / attempted to activate the Electromagnet in water, I became stuck and unable to move. I think I had to use the Boots of Flight to move myself again. Looking at the DruidsArtifactSpider code, it looks like the Electromagnet shouldn't work at all when the player is in water, but that leaves me confused as to why I would become "Stuck" when activating the electromagnet, since presumably it shouldn't have done anything.
I was doing the testing with the Electromagnet in one of the later waves and so was a little preoccupied. If I get an opportunity soon, I want to test this again, and make sure I test what happens when activating the artifact in the water, and also what happens when activating it outside of the water and then entering water.

my guess about the electromagnet sticking you when activated is this... it sticks to the surface you are on... in water... thats EVERYTHING!... so you stick to everything making you unable to move since you are stuck to the 6 walls of water surrounding your char. also I am wondering where I can see this code so I can see some things for myself and learn some more about it.
