Boons and Afflictions

How Boons work
Boons can be purchased from the Merchant, granted by certain Maraketh Shrines, or produced by another Boon or Pledge.
A Major Boon can override a conflicting Minor Affliction. All-Seeing Eye, for example, fully reveals the Trial Map despite the Black, Golden, or Red Smoke Afflictions.
How Afflictions work
Afflictions can reduce Honour recovery, strengthen monsters or traps, restrict Sacred Water, hide map information, change room selection, or block Relics and Boons.
Room choices can apply an Affliction, and some Shrines, Pledges, or other run effects can add or transform one.
Evaluate an Affliction together with the room objective, boss, existing effects, and future route. A penalty that is manageable alone can become a failure condition when combined with another restriction.
