Madstone Rage prevents setting torches. WAI?

[Firewall]

While in the crystal cove i wore my Madstone boots and got Madstoned by being hit while picking up a torch which i wanted to place a bit further away. Picking it up broke the chain of torches so it was crucial that i replaced it right away. When i tried to use it to place it on the ground i got the usual "something is preventing you from casting spells". So i had to wait more than a minute for Madstone Rage to wear off before being able to place a torch again. Is this WAI?

I hope not. Being raged for two minutes, unable to place any torches (yet still being able to pick them up) or any of the other items makes it very difficult to actually run the quest.

Not WAI. Same with Barbarian raged.

Sent a tell to madfloyd tonight, he said it was a known issue.

Good to know.

Madstone Rage is still preventing you from setting torches. )c:

I also heard that Rage prevents dual-wielding pitchforks in there too. The standard attire is a torch in the off-hand, and a pitchfork in the master hand.
