This patch allows more items to be cursed and have their curse lifted after X battles. It's a little upgrade system made with three tables. All details are in the readme.
Because of customization and bank $C2 being filled with bugfixes, the archive consist of four ASM file, one being the current bank ($C2) implementation and the other one the "external" bank implementation (by default $EE). There are also implementations of 4 or 8 items. Choose the implementation that you prefer.
The ASM file should be applied with
http://www.romhacking.net/utilities/269/. Refer to the readme for more details.

Description
-----------
This patch allows more items to be cursed and have their curse lifted after X battles.
The cursed item is defined in table 1, the upgraded item in table 2 and number of battles
to lift the curse in table 3. Entries position in all three tables goes together. As an example,
first entry is the cursed shield transforming into paladin shield after 256 battles.
All other entries are blank in the default ASM files.
Note that if you have two characters equipped with a cursed item, the curse will take twice less battles
to be lifted. Also, if you have two duplicate entries in table #1, only first entry will be updated at battle ending.
These are the main limitations of the code.
You can also make the code work for 3, 5, 6 or more than 8 items. The is no real limitation.
You'll need to modifying the number of entries to comment some entries or add more entries in all three tables.
There would be also two lines of code to change (line 9 and 37) to the number of entries you have.
Right now default implementations are 4 or 8 items. See the asm files for more details (open with notepad++).
