Mechanics

What Magic Skin does

  • Each use spawns an item from the current room's pool and converts 1 heart container, 1 Bone Heart or 2 Soul Hearts into a Broken Heart.
  • When you no longer hold it, Magic Skin can replace future items: 33% after one use, 50% after two and 100% after three. The chance is lower if it sits on a pedestal on the current floor.
