Clear-Sighted	Allows you to see traps on the floor, and invisible monsters. Gained by eating an Herb of Sight.
Confused	When confused, yellow stars appear above your head. If you attempt to move or attack whilst confused, you will have no control over the direction of said actions. However, items like staves and arrows will still shoot in the direction you are facing, so it is possible to continue combat with staves and arrows while confused by first holding (Y) to face towards your enemy without moving.

Monsters will now be affected by traps which, in turn, triggers an EXP multiplyer. This multiplyer increases by 1x if the monster trips another trap during it's next turn. This is called "chaining." When Shiren kills a monster with a multiplyer, it will be applied to the EXP received. However, monsters directly killed by Shiren with no multiplier only give you 1 experience point each.
