Question about clean slate scrolls and similar mechanics

This is going to sound very, very dumb. I need to ask it, however.

Clean Slate scrolls only give back a slot if a scroll failed, correct?

Say I Chaos Scrolled an item. It worked, but it worked by reducing the stats. If I Clean Slate scrolled it, I wouldn't get that item slot would I?

I have a CHTP that is 7x stats, but the previous dipstick owner used 2 chaos scrolls and made it something like 6x/6x/6x/7x. The two chaos scrolls worked but they decreased the stats.

Is there anything I can do at all to un-do the last two scrolls without having to use an Innocence scroll to reset the entire thing?

My OCD is getting so bad that I can't even look at the thing because it bothers me so much

Yes, Clean Slate scrolls only give back a slot if a scroll failed.

And no, no way to undo the two chaoses without undoing the (double? triple?) egging too.

my greatest fear confirmed. thank you

Also going to confirm you're stuck with those stats.

I have a +4 CHTP back from one of windia's pre-bb runs (passed one chaos/failed another).
I cannot get that 5th slot back, even with clean slates - the game recognizes the clean number of slots to be three.

As was seen with the white scroll + shield scroll (when they were first released), there is no limit to the number of slots an item is supposed to have (+40-50 weapons/gloves/etc)

Don't those Return Scrolls in the CS work on it? Or is it different because it's a Chaos HT Necklace?

A Return Scroll has to be applied to an item first, and then it will only affect the next scroll, it can't undo a previous scroll.

Oh, so they work like Wards and Lucky Days and stuff. Well, that sucks.
