ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

Every time I enter the dreamscape I am splattered with bugs (7 Archmage Projections Fighting Dreaming Horror tends to cause anarchy). After the fight I have a phantom light source equipped permanately. For example, I had the wintertide phial equipped during the fight. At the end of the fight I find I have 12 infravision. If I unequip the phial, I find I have 6 infravision, as if I was still wearing the phial. This also happened with the summertide phial, so that I permanately have 30% light resistance and 4 light radius with it stacking to 60%/8 radius if I keep the actual phial equipped.

It's cool I guess but I don't want to cheat. I don't know if this has been reported yet but I don't want to scroll the forums and get something spoiled.

Also is there any way to go into the files and edit character stats? I want to delete these phantom buffs if possible and keep playing legitimately.

I'm fairly sure the lua console could manage it, but I'm not a competent enough coder (which is to say, I'm not one at all ) to tell you how. You might try hopping on the IRC channel (#tome on Rizon, iirc.) and seeing if one of the more capable folks might be able to help you out.
