dragon scale mail degraded by polymorphing into dragon (trunk only)
Apparently I lied yesterday when I said that patch was the last polyself one. This has been on my agenda for a long time: when dragon scale mail merges with your skin during polymorph into the corresponding dragon, have it revert from mail to scales. Its enchantment stays the same when reverting. So after returning to your original form, using enchant armor to convert it into scale mail again will eventually risk its destruction due to over-enchanting. (Cursed scroll of enchant armor, spell of drain life, or being hit by a disenchanter can be used to reduce its enchantment back to a safe-to-enchnat value. Or cancellation if you're desperate. I think those all work on all colors of dragon scales despite the assorted magical properties that scales confer.)
