VOWS

10 vows

A vow is a difficulty you choose. Every run begins at the vow screen, where you swear what you like or begin unsworn. Pay its shards and carry its weight. Votive weight multiplies what the run is worth. Each vow is stamped on a wax seal in the corner of the screen for as long as it holds.
