I'd say "weird!" ;)

Really too bad that I've messed up my game installations and am currently not able to quickly check a similar situation, if it always works like this …

Okay, facts: IESDP doesn't mention any bugs when describing the  action, which is used during the Sarles dialogue. The Illithium Ore is an item from the miscellaneous category, and as such theoretically can't be equipped as a weapon. It has absolutely no properties, no enchantment level, nothing. Also, Sarles has no specific script that would tell him such behavior, and despite some random treasure on inventory slot 7 he carries no further items.

And now questions: does ever anybody has checked for where taken party items go to? Perhaps they are equipped always because the whole script is messy? Ah, what do I know …

I'll try to keep this in mind for my next walkthrough. Whenever then an item will be taken from me, and a quick check on the game files exludes that it's simultaneously destroyed, then I will try to add that NPC to my party and go check the inventory.

Thank you for testing, at any rate! And happy undead hunting with your new mace! :)
