Curse removal working?

[Schneekanonenschütze]

Does curse removal work correctly in the current build (v0.8) ? When I got the new Paladin's Belt during one of my recent games, it didn't prevent me from getting hit with the Crank curse, and while trying to remove the Darkness curse with a Scroll of Redemption did remove the status icon in the upper right corner of the screen, the actual darkness was not lifted, not even once I entered a new room.

Of course I'll have to test this further, but since the affected items seem to be pretty rare, it might take a while.

We'll check it out.

Crank is not a curse - it is just a permanent effect (like mighty foot). But it probably feels like a curse :)

Crank's not a curse? Then maybe the background of its icon shouldn't be red like with all the other curses in the game.

Speaking of Crank, the rate at which it burns through HP should be slowed down somewhat. If you get hit with it and have to go through several empty rooms in a row, it's a run-ender. Next to the Beggar's Curse, Crank is the one thing that taught me to skip Ancient Altars and the Gambler altogether.

Update : I can now confirm the Paladin's Belt indeed works as intended; it does protect from getting cursed and even removes any curses present when it's first equipped.
