2. 👵 Grandma's Secret Tonic: Explosion probability and stat bonus
- ✅ A single Grandma's Tonic has a 50% chance to explode, dealing 50% critical damage to nearby enemies within a 4-meter radius.
- ✅ The first tonic grants a 2% critical chance.
- ⚠️ Additional tonics only increase the explosion radius up to a maximum of 8 meters with five tonics.
- ❌ Getting more than five tonics has no additional effect.

3. 😈 Cursed Grabbies: Difficulty, health, and cursed magic
- ✅ Increases difficulty by 10% per stack and reduces health by multiplying it by 0.8.
- ✅ Has a 5% chance to cast cursed magic when hitting an enemy.
- ✅ Cursed magic damage scales linearly with level and the number of grabbies.
- ⚠️ The activation probability is calculated using a hyperbolic formula, with a theoretical maximum of 50%.
- ❌ Not widely used in the current meta because it reduces health, which negatively affects the Holy Book.
02:45 - 04:17
4. 📖 Holy Book: Health regeneration, radiant damage, and overhealing
- ✅ Grants 100 maximum health and 50 health regeneration upon pickup.
- ✅ Allows overhealing by 25%.
- ✅ Every 1.5 seconds, the Holy Book explodes and damages nearby enemies based on the amount of healing done.
- ✅ Damage scales with healing and player level.
- ✅ Each additional copy increases maximum health, health regeneration, and explosion radius.
- ✅ Acts as a fifth weapon, dealing critical damage and activating other objects.
04:18 - 05:00
5. 💡 Overpowered Lamp: Increased chance of activating effects on hit
- ✅ Increases the chance of activating effects on hit by one.
- ✅ Allows an object to activate multiple times in a single shot.
- ✅ With multiple lamps, the activation probability increases significantly.
05:01 - 06:23
6. 🔪 Bloody Cleaver: Blood marks and life steal
- ✅ Life steal now activates blood mark stacks.
- ✅ Adds a 50% chance to apply a blood mark.
- ✅ The blood mark explodes after 4-5 seconds or instantly if it deals lethal damage.
- ✅ Blood mark damage scales with damage, level, and blood mark stacks.
- ✅ Multiple bloody cleavers additively increase the probability of applying blood mark stacks.
06:24 - 07:25
7. 🪆 Cursed Doll: Cursing enemies and damage based on maximum health
- ✅ Curses an enemy, dealing 30% of their maximum health per second.
- ✅ Non-boss enemies die in 4 seconds.
- ✅ Damage to bosses is significantly lower and depends on the player's level.
- ✅ A single copy can curse two to six enemies at once (possible bug).
- ✅ Each additional copy increases the number of enemies that can be cursed.
07:26 - 08:05
8. 🔑 Key: Hyperbolic scaling and diminishing returns
- ✅ The Key scales with hyperbolic scaling.
- ✅ One key has approximately a 9.1% activation chance.
- ✅ Returns diminish relatively quickly.
- ✅ Many objects in the game use this type of mechanic.
