Items

A page detailing the many tools and items used in the world of The Darkness Was Comfortable for Me.

## Regular Items

Everyday items that can be manufactured, purchased, and used by anyone.

### Gorget Plate

A piece of protective armour that covers the neck, considered to be the most important piece of equipment for an explorer as if protects the Spirit Vein. As a result, the material of the plate is often higher quality than the rest of adventurers' equipment, with it being a priority when it comes to protecting the wearer.
### Torches

A basic dungeon exploring item used to traverse darker areas, such as the second level of the Meltia Dungeon.
### Fire Starter

A basic dungeon exploring item to start a fire when setting up a camp.
### Smoke Bomb

An exploring item that puts up a smoke screen, blocking the vision of any within its range. It can be used as an escape tool when escaping monsters. This item can also be obtained through the status board.
### Stink Bag

An exploring item that releases a pungent odour, presumably to deter monsters from approaching.
### Dried Meat

Preserved food which allows for extended dives into the dungeon. Can also be used as a distraction when escaping monsters. This item can also be obtained through the status board.
### Rocket Fireworks

Appears to be nothing but traditional fireworks. They are often used in the fourth level of Meltia's dungeon, being fired towards the waterfall, which is visible from the entire floor, as a means to communicate the user's location.
## Spirit Tools

Spirit tools are devices that make use of the energy within spirit stones to produce an intended effect. They can use both colourless stones and coloured stones. They are relatively cheap, have simple effects, and can be crafted by anyone with the knowledge to do so.

Spirit tools are ubiquitous in everyday life. When in the proximity of a Great Spirit, tools that share an element with said spirit will have their effects doubled.

### "Canteen"

A water spirit tool that serves as a source of potable water, so long as it is powered by a Water Spirit Stone.
### "Lighter"

A fire spirit tool that resembles a lighter from Earth. It's effects are unknown, but the mention of its appearance would suggest it serves the same purpose as a real world lighter.
### Hunting Horn

A wind spirit tool that can be used to communicate the user's location using specific phrases. It is useful in dungeon floors with poor visibility, such as the third floor of Meltia's dungeon.
## Magic Tools

Magic tools are relatively rare devices that are powered by the energy of a Chaotic Spirit Stone, utilizing a great variety of Spirits to great effect. They can only be crafted by Elves with mastery of their spirit abilities, making them quite expensive.

Magic Tools are powerful enough to anchor even Great Spirits to a specific location. Such devices are used in the construction of artificial Spirit Churches.

### "Warning Box"

A magic tool that alerts one of a monster's approach by making noise.
### Healing Pot

A healing magic tool in the form of a pot that recreates the effects of water healing abilities.
### Magic Storage Bag

A magic tool that replicates the Dark Spirit ability [Shadow Bag] , allowing for the storage of a large number of items within a small space.
## Chosen Exclusive

"Exclusive" items that can only be acquired by Chosen through the use of God's system using points or crystals.

### Basic Pack

The basic pack is an exclusive assortment of basic survival items provided by the system. It is offered to all Chosen as a starting option during their preparation in the White Room at the cost of 10 points. There are a number of items included that are exclusive to the pack.
The contents of the basic pack are as follows:

### Barrier Stone

The barrier stone is the predominant item used by Chosen during their time in the parallel world. Upon breaking the crystal, a stationary translucent barrier with a radius of 3 meters is generated around the user. The barrier lasts for 12 hours and will completely repel anything deemed a threat to the user, even poison gas. Barrier stones can be used successively, with their effective time stacking on one another. The time limit is displayed on the status board of the user. Multiple barrier stones can also be used to create larger barriers, with the two projected barriers merging and increasing in size. This also means that anyone with a barrier stone can enter the barrier of another, bypassing it altogether, posing a rather significant threat.
The barrier employs a number of methods to ensure the protection it offers the user during the time allotted is absolute. The user within the barrier and the barrier itself disappear from the perception of any who are hostile towards them. Moreover, anything that is within the barrier's radius upon its activation that is considered a threat it pushed out. Any attempt by the attacking party to close the distance only results in them being repelled by an even stronger force.
There are a few excepts to the barrier's perception blocking ability. People who are not hostile to the user will remain within a barrier when set up and can see the user from the outside. Chosen are granted the privilege of seeing within barriers regardless of their hostility, but cannot enter one. The most notable exception of those who can see within the barrier are Great Spirits. Why they can do so is not clear, but it has been suggested that due to their existence being closer to forces of nature, they have no notion of hostility, which clears them of the barrier's requirements for obstructing their perception. It is noteworthy, however, that the barrier is able to obstruct even great spirits, who are considered to be an existence on the level of gods by the natives of this world. There is, however, a yet unexplained method that was used to bypass the barrier by a Great Spirit.
If the user of the stone leaves the barrier, it will immediately disperse. This also applies to any offensive attacks made by the user. If a spell or ability is launched at someone on the outside, the barrier will disperse the moment the attack passes through. However, this does not apply to abilities that cause no damage, which are instead contained within the barrier and remain for as long as their own duration allows. This unique aspect of the barrier allows for the use of Spirit abilities beyond the user's actually capabilities in some cases, due to its ability to contain any Spirits that are summoned, meaning a Spirit user can build up the number of Spirits present to bypass their own limitations and temporarily access Spirit abilities beyond their own tier.
### Give-up Pill

This item exists solely for Chosen who have found themselves in a hopeless situation. Due to the nature of this item, it can only be obtained at the expense of all the users points. Moreover, it is an item that only works on the one that purchases it, making the reason behind its existence abundantly clear.
### Healing Scrolls

This item is a paper scroll obtained through the status board that, when unraveled by someone, heals any wounds they have.
There are three levels of scroll available:
* **[Low Healing Scroll]:** Heals light wounds and scratches. Costs 1 point.
* **[Medium Healing Scroll]:** Can heal more serious injuries that aren't life-threatening. Costs 2 points.
* **[High Healing Scroll]:** Capable of healing almost any wound imaginable, even regenerating lost limbs. Costs 3 points.

### Potions

Potions are drinkable items that have a variety of effects depending on the type. Potions can be bought using crystals, as their effects are less potent than that of scrolls, which must be purchased with points.
Known potion types include:
* **Physical Strength Recovery Potion:** Blows away the users fatigue, similar to a stimulant. Administered orally.
* **Stamina Potion:** Increases the user's endurance, much like an energy drink would. The potion is incredibly effect and fast-acting, having the potential to be highly addictive if used too often. Administered orally.
* **Healing Potion:** Heals wounds to varying degrees depending on the number of crystals used to purchase it. Must be applied directly to the wound.
* **Spirit Energy Potion:** Recovers the user's spirit energy. They seem to be quite rare so they go for a high price.

While potions are relatively inexpensive for Chosen, some go for an extremely high price comparatively, with a spirit healing potion going for 5 silver coins.
### Rejuvenation Scroll

An item that, when used, revitalizes the user in some capacity. Its full effects are somewhat unclear as one has never been seen to be used, but the discussion around it suggests that it will make the user regain their youth.
### Maps

Maps are an extension that can be added to the status board upon purchasing one of them.
There are a variety of maps to be purchased based on what the user needs:
* **[World Map]:** A map of the entire world of DCFM. Costs 1 point.
* **[High Efficiency World Map]:** A highly detailed map of the entire world of DCFM. Costs 3 points.
* **[Map of Surroundings]:** A map that displays the user's surrounding in a 10 kilometer radius. What it displays depends on where it was obtained. Costs 1 point.
* **[High Efficiency Map of Surroundings]:** Provides a highly detailed display of the user's surroundings in a 10 kilometer radius. What it displays depends on where it was obtained. Costs 5 points.

All maps display the user's current location with a red dot. Following the arrival of the Second Transfer Group, other Chosen's locations are also displayed, represented by blue dots.
### Clean Cloths

A supply of clean cloths to be used however is needed (cleaning weapons, wrapping wounds, etc.).
### Gauze

Square, breathable material that can be placed on a wound to prevent contamination while not adhering to it.
### Panacea

An item that is said to be able to cure any disease of the same severity as a wound that can be healed by a [High Healing Scroll] . It can be purchased for 3 points.
### Stop Filming Ticket

This item allows for the temporary stoppage of the livestream of their activities in the parallel world to God's website, lasting 10 minutes per ticket. The cost for a single ticket is 1 crystal.
### Scapegoat Ring

An chosen exclusive item that will shoulder the burden of a fatal hit once, fully reviving the holder. The ring was offered to all Chosen for a single point in celebration of the Second Transfer Group's arrival.
The ring is gold and featureless, and will appear on the right ring finger of the buyer, unable be removed.
The ring takes effect automatically when the user receives a fatal blow. Upon activation, the ring will emit an intense light that surrounds the user. Whatever injury the user has suffered is undone completely, as if the person had their time turned back. Once the wearer has been fully revived, the ring disintegrates.
### Resurrection Gem

A sacred treasure offered as the prize for taking first place in the first Viewer Count Race. The God Gem that resurrects someone important to the user. It can be used on those from Earth or the parallel world. The target of the resurrection will be revived in the same place they died. The user cannot revive someone who they don't truly consider important to them.
There is only one of these gems in the world and it can only be acquired by Chosen given the circumstances of its distribution, although it can likely be used by anyone if they can get their hands on it.
In order to use it, one must "offer a prayer" to God. However, in the one instance of its use thus far the "prayer" was hardly anything heartfelt, so it likely just requires an activation phrase of sorts.
Upon activation, the user is provided with a list of the people that are considered important to them and they must choose which will be revived. Once it has been used, the gem floats up slightly and scatters into fine shining particles.
