Super-useful bug in Sharimik!

[BlackDragon]

I figured I'd mention this here... it certainly isn't a BAD bug, but it IS a bit... destabilizing. So it should probably be fixed.

Basically, in Sharimik, there's that magic-smith who can Bless your equipment for 1000 gold a pop, right? The device is kept behind a set of undispellable Barriers that he only lowers if you pay him... or not. 'cuz somehow, in my game, those Barriers have permanently disappeared. Meaning that every time I leave and reenter Sharimik, I can get another piece of equipment Blessed, free of charge.

I have no idea exactly how it happened, though. I talked to the guy and asked about upgrading equipment, then refused to pay. I tried to dispel the barriers, and got the 'Too strong to ever be dispelled' message. Left town, did stuff, returned, noticed that the barriers were gone. I've come and gone several times, now, and blessed a number of equipment-pieces, and the barriers have so far stayed gone!

For some reason the barriers were down on my playthrough, too, even when I never paid for the service. I can't bless more than two items using it, though.

I'll look into this. I'm not sure why the barriers would go down early.

The blessing box being reusable infinite times would be a very different bug, and I'll see if I can find something htat might cause it. Nobody else has reported this problem yet.

Actually, come to think of it, I only blessed two items there too... just never went back for a third, so it may very well not function beyond that. >_>

I can confirm the 'I will bless your stuff' guy acts as though I've paid him the cash. He says 'You've already paid so go ahead and use it'.

Another bug I forgot to report (and I dunno if it happened with anyone else) is that sometimes items disappear completely from the box after being blessed. It might happen when I click on the box too fast during the little magic effect, dunno.
