[Bug][2.26]: Pyromancer Quest from Iron's Spells not progressing/not counting kills

What happened?

I found a pyromancer tower in the world and the quest activated as normal, traded with him and then killed him for his loot and the "Kill 1x Pyromancer quest", yet, it didn't progress. I tried to use JEI cheats to spawn another in and see if I could make it happen, but again, nothing happened.
In the statistics, there's nothing about killing pyromancers either.
The only mods I added besides those provided were "Not enough animations" and "Journeymap webmap", so I doubt it's due to either.
So instead I pondered if it could have been due to my sword/effects and tried it again with a normal sword, and this time it worked.
I'll provide a screenshot with the sword I was using and the curios I used in both situations, but if I'm not wrong, I'd say killing a pyromancer (and possibly other mobs) with an effect isn't counting as killing it.

"My quest is stuck/grey"
If you have a quest that isn't completing, you need to check if you completed all of it's requirements, you can check this by clicking on the quest, and clicking the small triangle/arrow on the top left of the quest popup. That will show all requirements.

If all the requirements are met, then the quest is probably actually stuck, which sometimes happens with FTB Quests:
To complete it, you need to be an OP (/op "username" from console) or have cheats enabled (if you didn't enable cheats in the world creation, open to LAN with cheats enabled).
With that, open the quests window.
Click the pencil icon on the bottom right, which enables editing mode.
Right click the quest in question.
Click Complete Instantly.

That will complete the quest, then disable the pencil button afterwards.

"I want the reward from the quest though"
In that case, in the quest popup, right click the reward, and click Reset Progress, that will let you claim the reward.
