[Windows] [Steam] Sandthief Ring in the Black Pits only has 1 charge and disappears after use

1. Start a new game in The Black Pits
2. Fight your way and purchase the Sandthief Ring from Xitihiss
3. Use it

Observed
The Sandthief Ring has 1 charge. Using the Sandthief Ring uses up the charge and consumes the item.

Expected
The Sandthief Ring's invisibility should be a "per day" use such as the one in the Baldur's Gate storyline.

The number of charges is probably a bug, but the behavior of the ring is not. The Sandthief Ring originally added in Tales of the Sword Coast (and available in Ulgoth's Beard), was a limited use item. In BG2, the power was revised to once per day. So, a "disappears when used up" item is consistent with the original behavior of the item in BG1.

EDIT: The Sandthief Ring (same item file, RING05.ITM) available in Ulgoth's Beard has 7 charges according to ULGOTH.STO. The one available in Black Pits likely just needs the entry in the STO file updated to be the same.

EDIT2: Looks like it was reported before: https://forums.beamdog.com/discussion/23644/black-pits-sandthiefs-ring. Hopefully it is slated to be fixed with the pre-SoD update.

Yeah, I saw that post before posting here. But it wasn't in the bug reporting section so I thought I'd create a proper report
