RULES

* Shock resets with each level
* If your Spirit is depleted, you die
* Manuscripts teach you spells that you can cast by pressing 'x'


TIPS

* Wands have infinite uses. They recharge for a set number of turns.
* Strange Shapes are magical traps.
* I think untreated Infections turn into Disease after a couple of rounds.
  Disease seems to lover your HP - possibly permanently?
* Inventory encumbrance can be seen as percentages in the inventory.
* Gongs increase your Spirit permanently but deafen you permanently.
  It doesn't work to shoot them with a pistol.
* The coiled pylon causes Terror
* The Star-crowned Pylon causes Slowness

Tips from Belobo @ reddit:
* You get no XP for killing enemies. Avoid them if you don't need items.
* Close doors to block spawned enemies from stalking you down.
* Kick braziers or statues to crush enemies.
