Error in Imp affecting call monster sprite

After applying several Leet Sketcher's patches, testing and not crashing the game. I thought it went well until I discover that if I cast Imp on Live Sr Behemoth and kill it, the death version sprite that came out is corrupted.

Well the easiest fix is removing the patche(s) that cause this problem. Testing if the game doesn't crash is a good start but it doesn't mean there won't be more problem. You may also have a patch conflict that use the same free space and this is the result. I would inform leetsketcher when you find the culprit..

Found the problem in using V1.0 us rom. If I apply Leet's Imp Skimp & Unaffected Rows from http://assassin17.brinkster.net/, then undead sprite is corrupted. 

So I just need to unpatch one of them.

no interactions between the patches jump out at me, and i can't say the following necessarily relates to the problem, but this:

Code:

LDA #$01
JML C2_2E75_helper

can't be doing what i intended, given the target function promptly clobbers A to preserve $B1 (a late-stage addition). :/

if $B1 holds 20h, i'll be calling some bogus pointer instead of a ($2E93, X) table entry. if it holds 00h, the toggle i'm attempting will fail.

try changing C2_2E75_helper's
LDA $B1/pha/.../pla/sta $b1 to:
ldx $b1/phx/.../plx/stx $b1 .

if we're worried about altering X's value from vanilla, we can probably edit only the first 2 instructions.

another alternative is to leave all 4 instructions untouched, change "JSR $2E75" to "JSR $2E77" (or "JSR $2E74"), and the caller's "LDA #$01" to "LDX #$02" (or "LDX #$01").
