ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I'm trying to transfer weapons to the vault on my Skeleton Doomed. For some reason, when I choose to place items in the item vault, even though the weapons are clearly in my inventory, they aren't available as choices to put in the vault. As far as I can tell, this is happening only on this character, but for any weapon. Perhaps it's due to the cursed aura or something?

The curses tree prevents gear from being vaulted, because the modified curse on it behaves... badly, when this is done.

I take it it's not possible to remove the curse from the item?

Removing curses from items would be exploitable, as you could keep transferring it in and out of the vault to get the curse you want.

The only non-exploitable solution I can think of is to add an "inactive" or "lesser" version of each curse. When you put a cursed item into the vault, Curse of Shadows would be replaced by "Lesser Curse of Shadows". Then when you take an item out of the vault, the lesser curse would remain unless the character taking it out had Cursed Aura unlocked, in which case the lesser curse would be replaced by the regular version again.

That would have the stylistic benefit of leaving an actual curse on the item. I mean, it's officially "cursed", so if you transfer it to another toon there should be a drawback to using it.
