Negative level not being restored by Lesser restoration or a scroll

[Winking Wizard]

My character has a -1 negative level that won't go away with resting, less restoration cast on her or by using a restoration scroll. Is it a glitch? All her "permanent" stat damages can be restored normally.

Set the game to remove statuses on rest. Rest. Switch it back.

im not sure lesser restoration restores a permenant negative level, though, stat damage yes, but a perma drained level, did you get level drained by a powerful undead or succubus or something? you may need a normal restoration for that.

Restoration, Lesser:
Lesser restoration dispels any temporary magical effects reducing one of the subject's ability scores (it does not remove permanent effects such as curses or diseases) or cures 1d4 points of temporary ability damage to one of the subject's ability scores. It also eliminates any fatigue suffered by the character. It does not restore permanent ability drain.

Restoration:
This spell functions like lesser restoration, except that it also dispels temporary negative levels or one permanent negative level.
Restoration cures all temporary ability damage, and it restores all points permanently drained from a single ability score. It also eliminates any fatigue or exhaustion suffered by the target.

You need a regular restoration for negative levels yes.

[Draken]

Yes, negative levels require a restoration. And two units of diamond dust.
The lesser restoration only helps with fatigue and ability damage/drain.

[Mork]

You need at least a restoration (the level 4 version) to remove negative level.

As for resting, it depend if the negative level is temporary or permanent. You should see a timer on the debuff if it's a temporary neg level.
