charisma losing

i've got serious problem. i gave my mage the rod of terror, which is taking sometimes 1 point of charisma permanently. i haven't noticed that before, and now i am in real trouble - i've got 1 point left. here is my question - is there any way to get those points permanently back? any fair method or even a cheatcode?

Yes-

Shadowkeeper (obviously)
OR
Use these tomes of charisma (as many as you need)
CLUAConsole:CreateItem("") (EDIT: I can't actually find the code!)

this is on Gibberlings3:

Attribute Drains Can Cause Scores to 'Wrap Around' To Max Values

This is another fairly well-known exploit, typically abused with the Rod of Terror and the Ring of Human Influence. The Rod of Terror will occasionally drain charisma from its wielder, eventually taking charisma to zero and killing the character. However, while wearing the Ring of Human Influence, the actual charisma will continue to decline to zero but will not kill the character as the ring keeps their working charisma at 18. If the Rod drains more charisma, the actual score will 'wrap around' from 0 to 25. The Ring can then be removed, leaving the character with an artificially inflated, god-like charisma score. This is hardcoded and can not be fixed.

Shadowkeeper is an editor type program for Baldur's Gate II.

Just a small note,the charisma tome does not actually work because I can't put it in my quick use slot. I don't know if it just wont work for me, or if it doesn't work for anyone, but I believe the code is book06 or book 07

It's not just you, most of the Ability raising tomes are broken in BG2, I seem to recall the strength one worked, but not many, if any, others.
