This sort of "hacking" is completely safe if you make a backup of your save file before attempting to hack a particular item. It won't affect your computer - only your game file. The worst that can happen is that you will incorrectly do the item hack and you either won't have the item or that save file won't work and you'll need to restore your game with the backup (saved to a different directory).

It is necessary to have to have the correct code for the item needed. I collected the codes for a number of important items but certainly not all. The mask is one I did collect being one of those items that can sometimes disappear and having such importance to the game.

I've successfully hacked many items. I figured out how to do this when, in my first game, I was unable to find all the glowstones necessary in Collasium - a rare bug which can be corrected by other means than hacking.

I believe the code I saved for the mask is after it has been enchanted with the 5 evil elements.

This is a basic substitution hack - replacing some junk item in your inventory for the item you need. I've hacked all sorts of items so I know that it works well. If you haven't done this sort of thing before the instructions may seem a bit strange but it's actually fairly easy.
