I think what he meant was that a skill lowered by an item was being raised by players... potentially creating a cheat for players to have moren than 100.0 of the given skill once the item was removed.

I am not too sure how to prevent the player to gain skill while using the item, but to prevent bugs, u could store the skill lvl the lowered skill on a TAG0 (when the item is equiped) and return its value once the player remove the item.

U could also add to the sphere_skills.scp (not sure if the name is still this one) a on=@success (under the skill lowered) a check for a TAG0 and return it to -1, not sure if this would prevent the skill to be raised but worthed to give it a try...
cheers
