I'm having very hard time replicating it. Could you provide save file causing this issue with your game folder?
Anyway, I've added piece of code hopefully to prevent it. Let me know if it works.

Game+save--pre trigger
Save2--post trigger
Here is a rar w/ the game folder I'm using and my save. The save in the rar is just before the bug is triggered. If I give away Joella, go back to the mansion, and use mind read on any of my others it comes up with Joella's info. The second save is after I have sold Joella and the bug has been triggered. The last is a pic of what it looks like when I run into this thing. I'm downloading strive again to test it out and see what happens. I'll get back to you. *Edit: WHOO! I think you fixed it. Using those broke saves I sent you everything behaves now. Lemme try to break it real good and I'll update again. *Edit2: I think this is fixed now. I completed the 3 easiest give quests in wimborn, used mindread everywhere you could, and completed a repeatable quest. I was unable to break my spells under any conditions while doing all this stuff. I did find a text bug though. When upgrading the mansion personal rooms the output message was first 'lost 300 gold' in red and then 'obtained 3 upgrade points' in green. Since I spent them it should have read 'Lost 3 upgrade points' in red right? lol Thanks for your prompt attention to my bug report. I'm eager to see the continued growth of strive.
