Edited Cloak

I believe it is the cloak of reflection. It is the one that reflects all magical damage back to the source. My problem is this: I feel this is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful cloak in the game, and it was invaluable when I played BG2 the first few times. When you wore it, there was a shimmering disk at your feet to let you know the reflection was active. Now with Throne of Bhaal installed, the shimmering disk has been replaced with a dense globe that completely obscures the character. I find this globe so annoying that I no longer use the cloak. I've downloaded an item editor but I don't really feel confident editing one of the items in the game without screwing it up. Can anyone help me out? I figure if someone is familiar with the item editor it should be fairly simple to fix. Thanks.

...or just remove the clck26.itm file in your override directory. Simple as that

If you remove the override file you change the cloak so it once again reflects damage instead of deflecting damage. It was kind of overpowered in that respect.

Tried it

I removed the file from my override folder with disasterous results. When I tried to play the game, I found that the keyboard kept repeating "26" over and over again. It was impossible to do anything with my party because 2 and 6 select different members of my party. It was really difficult because I was playing a solo game and there was no second or sixth party member. I don't think it is any coincedence that the cloak was clck26.itm. I restored it from the recycling bin, and the game still didn't work. I loaded a word processor to see if it would repeat "26" but it was fine. It wasn't until I rebooted that it worked again. Then I installed the mod. It worked okay, except the cloak didn't reflect anything. I didn't have a glowing disk at my feet and there was no turning spell icon on my portrait. I don't think I took any magical damage, but it was hard to tell in limitted testing since most of my enemies casted area effects and I made a lot of saving throws. It looked like deleting the item file might have worked if I had deleted it and then rebooted. I might try that since it still didn't work after I restored the file until I rebooted. Thanks for the suggestions.
