Stat/Skill Boosting Bug

[Nocturna56]

Description of Bug Experienced:

So, after a long morning of enchanting new items and spending all my gold, I went up to the prismatic/distorted mirrors on the second floor of the Mercantile Building in Cordor to change the look of the exciting brand new gear I made. I kept getting an "INVENTORY IS FULL" message but after looking around and still having things change like I wanted them to, I ignored it.

After about five minutes of trying to get my saved outfit to work and realizing it doesn't because it doesn't change the cloak look, I went and did my thing with the prismatic mirror. Changed up some colors, then went back downstairs to throw out the blank cheap gloves and rings I still had.

I checked my inventory and I was sitting on a 2500lb weight limit. Now, I'm level 12 with 29 strength with all my stuff equipped. My base carry limit should have been 900 or so. I was baffled, so I checked my stats - I was at 35 strength. This shouldn't be - I didn't have Bull's Strength on. On a hunch, I checked my skills.

80 Discipline at level 12. That's 40 more than it should have been. Same with the other skills I had bonuses to via enchanting items.


Steps to reproduce the Bug:

1) Find a Prismatic Mirror. Bug does not seem to happen with Distorted Mirror.

2) Make sure your inventory is completely full except for a 2x3 grid. Enough to hold one cloak.

3) Equip a cloak with an enchantment for a stat and/or skill, I don't think it matters what. Just something you can track. This probably works with armor/helmets but I can't check that.

4) Change color of the cloak.

Expected Result:

The cloak will change color, but stats will remain the same.

Actual Result:

Your stat/skills will continue to stack. Removing the cloak fixes the bug. Relogging fixes the fact that the cloak's weight stacks as well.

Additional Information/Notes

I recreated this after finding it very simply and I can do it again with someone watching if needed. I did search the bug forums to see if anyone posted this already, and didn't find anything, so sorry in advance if it was already reported.
