Had a half baked fanfic idea featuring Simon getting into the castle and finding this sword. The fic idea went nowhere, but I became low-key obsessed with designing the sword

Okay, so I used the monk blessing to get the foundation in my outer room. On day 149, I received a removal spray on the outer foundation to make it go away. On day 150, both foundations were gone. So far, makes sense.

On day 155, 6 days after I used the spray, I had two dice and was down to one door, so I used both rerolls to try and get a room with three or more doors. On my last reroll, I drew the foundation, and while I was a bit confused, and disappointed with the location, it was my only non-dead end, and I wasn't ready to give up on this run, so I took it, and consoled myself with at least it was slightly improved over it's original location, and worst case scenario, I can monk again.

On day 156, I make a plan for my run to full out the lower ranks to get items and specific rooms, and to then use (if necessary) the foundation to get closer to rank 8 (I was trying to draft a specific room on that rank. Imagine my surprise when I realized I no longer had a foundation. There was no blessing, there was no reuse of the spray. (don't ask why I didn't use my remaining doors in the entrance and commissary, I don't remember)

So, uh, why did I get the foundation less than a week after using the spray on it, and why did it disappear afterwards?

I have continued to not have a foundation in the handful of days I've played since. I did draw it earlier today, but I didn't draft it because I had other drawing options and I didn't like the location. Also, it's no longer in my directory, but my understanding is that, that's normal. It did tell me that I had a new room (despite long since having the explorer's trophy) when I called it a day on day 155.

I've never seen that dark patch by 6 before, and I have no idea how to solve it. (ignoring the 6, two doesn't solve it). And if it's supposed to be purple, you don't get a whole number?

Edit: I brute forced it, and the answer was 18, and I have no idea how 6 could have factored into this, considering everything else on the board.

This is in the Precipice past the chess room, but before the end.

Bringing the power hammer doesn't prompt anything, and I have no idea what else could open it, unless there's someway of opening it from the other side?

I calculate this to be 6, but it just resets to the first puzzle when I do so.

Am I missing something

Edit: update: I am an idiot who thought the second blue was on 4 and not 18
