Short description of the issue
A glitch causes self-buffing artifacts (Poison/Element Cuffs, Grindstone sharpening, Death Cap Mushroom, etc.) to permanently lock out. The slot is left indefinitely waiting for the animation to end, blocking future activation globally across all zones and portals/minecart stations
Steps to reproduce the issue
Equip any self-buffing artifact (e.g., Blight Bangle, Grindstone, or Tempo Truffle) and ensure the player has sufficient souls.
Activate the artifact using the controller button assignment.(would also assume this would work on keyboard and mouse)
Within the first few frames of the activation animation (before the visual buff fully applies), immediately tap the Ranged Weapon button to fire the bow.(in my case using a PS5 controller on pc, the R2 trigger)
Observe that the bow fire successfully forces an animation cancel and weapon swap, but the artifact slot is now broken.
Removing the artifact, through quick inventory or full menu inventory then immediately reapplying it will allow the artifact to work as intended again
Video attached has a clipped up version of the bug as described, only a little basic combat was removed, roughly 7 seconds.
