Hold on! I think you were playing it correctly before. From the rules:
Quote:
A card that is played into your Inventory after having its Glory or Peril cost paid is then available for you to use and is said to be readied; a card in your hand has no effect in the game until readied.
Thus, once the card is in your inventory (and you payed its glory to get it there) it is readied and all bonuses apply free-of-charge.
I think that the rule you are citing refers specifically to cards that have a "cost" to use...for example, some hero specially abilities require you to pay glory each time you use them. There are some treasures (like elven bow) that also have a "cost", but usually this is in the form of tokens that you pay for in the initial glory cost, or are placed on the card as a consequence of that card's ability. To "pay" for these you simply remove the token already on the card.
