Was doing a single-player Ironman run and discovered the following.
After you've taken the Staff of Lazarus back to Cain to activate/generate the Archbishop Lazarus quest, you'll find that (after you've taken the Red Portal) in the Lazarus chambers Phasing simply doesn't function.
You'll get the sound of it being cast, but nothing happens. You don't move, and you don't lose mana.
This is true whether you try to cast it as a known spell, from a staff, or from a scroll -- no dice.
All other spells (including Teleport) seem to cast just fine. It's only Phasing that's bugged and non-operative.
As a further note, if you try casting Teleport from the Lazarus altar room back to the start room, but aim to teleport onto the pentagram-portal tile there (so as to be transported immediately back into the Laz altar room) the game won't allow you to land on that tile. Instead, it has you appear on an adjacent tile.
And there you go.
