Can't use Mattock on glass

[LinkR87]

What the heck? I was given the option before, but I declined because it said it would be a bad idea. I now got another one, so I figured it was worth the risk now and it won't even let me even try anymore! I click "Use Mattock" and it just tells me "THE TREASURE IS BEHIND A NEARLY IMPENETRABLE WINDOW OF CRYSTAL GLASS. NOT THAT I COULD MAKE MUCH USE OF IT ANYWAY."

So what, because I declined it that one time I'm forever locked out from ever trying again? That's seriously stupid. especially the "NOT THAT I COULD MAKE MUCH USE OF IT ANYWAY." I JUST found a thing asking for gold coins....

It's just a security mechanism so that players don't lock themselves out of other areas. Once you broke through a certain wall and get access to the rest of the mattocks, you should be able to use the mattock on the glass wall again. Sorry for the confustion!

I see. Odd, because the first time when I had only one mattock it actually asked me if I wanted to use it. Ah, that's confusing. Thanks a lot for the clarification. Weight off my mind.

Funny, I had the foresight to decline the glass, but not when I chose light smelly fire in my house. I should have seen the fart gas coming a mile away.

I had all four mattocks before trying to break the glass. First two crumbled, but the game doesn't let me try again with the remaining mattocks as if it thinks I've got no more or only one left. The Shade says '... it's a matter of time etc...' Is this how it's meant to be and do I need to something else before I can use another mattock?

If the Shade says it's only a matter of time, the glass has already been broken and you should see the hole in the glass soon.

Thank you, it has now happened. I'd actually hoped it was what was going to happen, but it was not happening fast enough and I needed to go to bed. It seems some of the action>wait>result sequences take longer waits than others. :)
