==Items==
<pre>
There are many items collectible throughout the game.  Most of the time
I don't keep them, instead I sell them back to Sumner to buy stats.  The
only ones I keep around are keys and potions.


*** Powerup Items ***
 
Compass
  You start the game with the compass, you can toggle it, and it’s
  infinite.  It’s good to help you navigate.
Key
  The keys are used to unlock gates with locks and treasure chests.
  Any key works in any gate/chest.  Keys can be carried between levels,
  so if you find yourself short, you can always go back to a previous
  level and pick up more (or even buy them from Sumner).
Potion
  The potions are the magic attack.  They come in different "flavors"
  (Light, Fire, Ice, Electric), but they're all basically the same.
  There are several different methods of using them; MAGIC starts a
  blast centered around the character, ATTACK+MAGIC throws it like a
  grenade, TURBO+MAGIC activates it like a shield, and shooting them
  before picking them up has the same effect as just pressing MAGIC,
  just centered over the potion, and much weaker.  The strength of the
  potions depends on the characters magic rating.
Acid/Electric/Fire Breath
  These give you a limited number of breath attacks.  You basically
  exhale the element of choice from your mouth for several seconds
  while sweeping your head back and forth.
Light/Acid/Electric/Fire Amulet
  Applies the element to your primary weapon, increasing damage.
Electric/Fire Shield
  Give you a shield, similar to the potion shield, that harms enemies
  and protects the character
Invisibility
  Makes the character invisible to enemies.  It’s only partial, because
  I still get attacked with it on.
Levitate
  Pretty useless, but it lets you float over ground based traps.
Speed Boots
  Give you a surge of speed, great for making getaways.
3/5 Way Shot
  Give you X projectiles for each shot you take.  All shoot to toward
  he direction you're facing, just spread out.
Rapid Fire
  Increases your rate of fire.
Reflect Shot
  Your projectile attacks bounce off the walls
Reflect Shield
  Bounces attacks at the character back at the attacker
Super Shot
  Give you  a limited number of attacks simulating a L3 turbo.
Timestop
  Pauses enemies, generators, traps, and the like.  Incredible
  potential for abuse (See Cheap Tricks below)
Phoenix Familiar
  Gives you a limited Phoenix familiar, that acts like an extra weapon
  (plus, it looks cool)
Player Growth
  Makes a player the size of a golem/elemental
Shrink Enemies
  Reduces the size of all enemies
Thunder Hammer
  A large hammer with limited shots that you swing overhead down onto
  enemies (Flying Circus anybody?)
Anti-Death Halo
  Rare item that makes Death flee from you.  If you can corner him, you
  can drain life from him.  After you beat the game, you get a
  permanent halo.
Invulnerablity
  There are two levels of invulnerability.  Silver blocks damage to you,
  and gold has you gain health instead of losing it.
Treasure Chests
  Open with a key and can contain virtually every powerup item, along
  with a few other things, including Gold, Death, and scrolls
Barrels
  Breaking barrels with your weapons will reveal the same variety of
  items as treasure chests do, or nothing at all.  There are also green
  barrels which, when hit, release a small poison cloud, and red
  barrels which explode when they’re shot.
Red Switches
  Red switches control the environment (raise platforms, open doors,
  etc.)  There are three types, the first is a standard switch.  Step
  on it, and it lowers a gate, or whatever.  The second type only are
  active when you’re standing on them, as soon as you get off, whatever
  changed reverts to what it was.  These are usually associated with
  bridges.  The third works like an elevator call button, and brings an
  elevator to your level.
Gold
  You pick up gold from the ground, barrels or chests, and can use it
  to buy stats and powerup items from Sumner.
Food
  Found on the ground and in barrels/chests.  Fruit restores 50 health
  and meat restores 100 points.
Scrolls
  Scrolls are notes from Sumner(?) that give you tips along the way. 
  They will often give you a cryptic hint about how to proceed, or
  where to find items/runes/etc.
