After the recent update, it seems that iron artifacts do indeed hurt Mist Elves now. That's nice and dandy, but then this happened

>Be a ME Duelist
>Get L+
>Get crowned
>iron gauntlets

Thus, after spending quite a time getting the right alignment, sacrificing few artifacts and lots of gold to bring myself up to the needed piety... I got an artifact that hurts me whenever I try to use it. Seems quite punishing for being a champion. Wouldn't it be better if Mist Elves weren't crowned with stuff that means potential prolonged suicide for them? Since otherwise, crowning with a Mist Elf seems partially wasted effort
