Banish

Banish is one of the stats in Vampire Survivors. It affects the amount of times the player can remove an item choice for the rest of the run.
Once an item is banished it can no longer be offered as a level up option. If an owned item is banished or if a banished item is later picked up as a Stage item, it will remain at its current rank, but can no longer be offered upon level ups or upgraded by Treasure Chests. Banished weapons can be offered Limit Break upgrades, once the player's build is fully upgraded if Limit Break is enabled.
There is no upper limit to how many Banishes the player may have.

==Tips==
*Banish can be used to limit or prevent undesirable effects from an item's upgrades, such as gaining more Curse from Torrona's Box's last upgrade or Skull O'Maniac when you only need it to evolve Song of Mana.
*Banishing common items that you are not planning on picking removes them from the item pool and increases the chances to be offered the item you want.
*If you banish an item and pick it up in the level, you won't be able to upgrade it via level ups.
== Trivia ==
* The icon for banish bears a strong resemblance to the famous Italian hand gesture "Ma cosa vuoi?", literally meaning "Well, what do you want?". The hand gesture can be used in a variety of contexts which can drastically alter its meaning or tone, ranging from lighthearted annoyance to bewildered confusion. The gesture is normally formed with an upward-facing palm and by touching the thumb with the base of the other fingertips, forming a pincer, and accentuated with some slight shaking. Within the context of using Banish on an item, it could be interpreted as signifying an affronted "Well, why are you giving me this?" or "What am I supposed to do with this?". The icon also bears a strong resemblance to the Vibhuti item from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, though with the hand turned upward instead of down. Combined with the aforementioned reference to the famous hand gesture, this forms a sort of visual pun, taking the Castlevania icon and tweaking it in a humorous way.
