I have not experiance ths myself, but could it be that you did a 'scribe
update' right b4 the 'gaze prune'. Sometimes, when i do a 'scribe update' i
find whole sections that are empty, bucause i just happen to be updating my
grimoire while the grimoire is being updated online. If some of your grimoire
was empty because of this could this be the reason why the prune messed you
up?

Coudl we put some sort of lock on the grimores so that they coould not be
downloaded while they were being updated?
