Major sharp shadow bug
It seems that when I equip and unequip repeatedly that specific charm it stops working. I was trying out builds for Nightmare King Grimm, and my final build includes this charm. But this is not the first time I've noticed this bug. This sucks for me because Sharp shadow is my favorite charm and I include it in almost every build. If I exit to the menu and go into the game again it fixes itself, but it breaks again after some tries fighting NKG. Im not exiting the game every time the charm breaks, as you know, NKG is not exactly some 2-5 atempts boss.
Im not sure I'd call it a serious bug, but it's very annoying.

UPDATE: I think it breaks if you accidentally try to shade dash through NKG's spike attack.

The bug is actually caused when the Shadow Dash gets interrupted by something that ignores I-frames. The bug will persist until you save&quit or exit the game.

Known causes: spikes, saws, thorns, explosions, etc.

So do you know if any of NKG's attacks count as "environmental damage" (wich, apparently, you can't shade dash through)?
I'm thinking about his fire attacks maybe?

That makes the most sense.
Can you reliably reproduce the glitch?

Yep I think it breaks every time you do that.
Thanks for your help

Still relevant in latest Godmaster update. I was able to record an instance of this bug:

I filed a report, hopefully this will be fixed.
