Spell Mechanics
The Basics
Spells are useful abilities the player accumulates throughout the game, and are an important part of any run of The Legend of Bum-bo.
There are five types of spells: attack spells, defense spells, puzzle spells, activated spells, and special spells.
  • Attack spells allow the player to attack enemies.
  • Defense spells allow the player to avoid damage and heal.
  • Puzzle spells allow the player to modify the puzzle board.
  • Activated spells have powerful effects that can only be used once in a while.
  • Special spells do a variety of helpful things.
Each playable character starts with a few default spells, whereas new spells can be found in treasure rooms that the player encounters throughout the game.

Treasure Rooms
Treasure rooms are the primary source of new spells and trinkets for the player. Each chapter consists of three enemy rooms, two treasure rooms, and one boss room. The rooms appear in the order below:
  1. Enemy Room
  2. Treasure Room
  3. Enemy Room
  4. Enemy Room
  5. Treasure Room
  6. Boss Room
Treasure rooms usually contain two spells, although the treasure rooms in Chapter 4 will sometimes contain trinkets. If the player has all 6 spell slots full when entering a treasure room, they will be given the option to cancel and take no spells or trinkets, although the cancel button often does not work in the second treasure room of each chapter.

A treasure room's spells will try to avoid costing the same color of mana as the player's existing spells. When a spell or trinket is chosen, it is added to the player's inventory and the other option becomes unavailable. If the player tries to take a spell or trinket but does not have room, they must choose a spell or trinket to replace with the new one.

In total, there are 8 treasure rooms that the player can potentially encounter throughout a run; 2 treasure rooms are in each of the 4 chapters. With the exception of the final 2 treasure rooms, each of the treasure rooms has a specific set of spell types available. This applies to every run of The Legend of Bum-bo.

The spell types are listed below:
Treasure room number
Left spell type
Right spell type
1
Defense spell
Puzzle spell
2
Special spell
Activated spell
3
Defense spell
Attack spell
4
Activated spell
Puzzle spell
5
Special spell
Attack spell
6
Activated spell
Puzzle spell

Unlike the other treasure rooms, treasure rooms 7 and 8 do not have a set of specific spell types; spells in these treasure rooms are entirely random. Also, trinkets are often available in these treasure rooms instead of spells:
  • There is a 33% chance that two trinkets are available.
  • There is a 33% chance that two spells are available.
  • There is a 33% chance that one spell and one trinket is available.
After defeating any boss except Bygone, two trinkets will always appear in the boss room. Similarly to a treasure room, the player may add one of the trinkets to their inventory. The player will sometimes be given the option to cancel if all of their trinket slots are full, although this doesn't always happen in which case the player may be forced to replace one of their trinkets.

Activated Spells
Activated spells cost no mana, but must recharge after each use. Each room cleared will increase the spell's charge by 1. When the spell's charge is full, it can be used again. Spells with a charge of 0 recharge every turn. Also, making a Mega Peepee combo will charge all activated spells by 2. The number of charges required to use an activated spell can be reduced by purchasing charge needles from the vendor at the Wooden Nickel, or by using the Brown Tick trinket. Cancelling a charge spell does not refund its charge cost.

Base Damage vs. Static Damage
There are two main methods that the game uses to determine how much damage a spell should inflict upon enemies. This guide uses the following labels to describe the two types of spell damage:
  • The term base damage refers to spell damage that scales with the spell damage stat; base damage starts at 0 but each level of the spell damage stat increases base damage by 1.
  • The term static damage refers to spell damage that doesn't scale with the spell damage stat; usually, the only way to increase this type of damage is by purchasing damage needles from the vendor at the Wooden Nickel.

Shuffling vs. Rerolling
There are two main methods that the game uses to determine how to randomize tiles on the puzzle board. This guide uses the following labels to describe the two types of tile randomization:
  • The term shuffle means that the tiles in question are randomly rearranged, but the number of each color of tile remains the same.
  • The term reroll means that the tiles in question randomly change color, and the number of each color of tile will vary. Tiles rerolled this way won't reroll into wild tiles or curse tiles, but rarely will reroll into heart tiles. Also, tiles rerolled this way will never reroll into the same tile they were before rerolling.

Status Effects
Some spells can inflict status effects on enemies:
  • Blind enemies are depicted with a pair of sunglasses on their face, and will sometimes miss their attacks. Blindness wears off after about 2 enemy phases. Most bosses cannot be blinded.
  • Poisoned enemies are depicted with a green face sticker on them, and take damage at the end of each enemy phase. Poison wears off after a few enemy phases. Poison damage is not classified as spell damage or puzzle damage; this means that enemies with spell damage resistance or puzzle damage resistance do not resist poison damage. Most bosses cannot be poisoned.
Mana Costs
The Basics
With the exception of activated spells, all spells cost mana to cast. The 5 colors of mana are white, brown, green, grey, and yellow. A spell's mana cost can be reduced or rerolled in various ways.

Default Mana Costs
Every non-activated spell in the game has a default total mana cost that determines how much mana it will cost in total, however the number of colors of mana required to use the spell varies. With all characters except Bum-bo the Stout:
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 1 will always cost 1 mana of 1 color.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 2 will always cost 2 mana of 1 color. The only exception is the Converter spell, which will always cost 1 mana of 2 colors by default.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 4 will either cost 4 mana of 1 color or 2 mana of 2 colors.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 6 will either cost 6 mana of 1 color, 3 mana of 2 colors, or 2 mana of 3 colors.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 10 will either cost 5 mana of 2 colors or 2 mana of 1 color and 4 mana of 2 colors.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 16 will either cost 8 mana of 2 colors or 6 mana of 1 color and 5 mana of 2 colors.
  • Spells with a total mana cost of 20 will always cost 7 mana of 2 colors and 6 mana of 1 color.

Here is a table to summarize this information:

Mana Cost Reduction
The mana cost of a spell can sometimes be reduced by using the Sleight of Hand and Golden Tick spells, by using the Rainbow Tick trinket, or by purchasing mana needles from the vendor at the Wooden Nickel. The way the cost is lowered depends on which method is used.

When using a mana needle, the Rainbow Tick trinket, or the Sleight of Hand spell:
  • If the spell costs 3 or more mana of any number of colors, one of those colors' mana costs is reduced by 1, chosen randomly.
  • Colors with mana costs of 2 or less are not affected.

When using the Golden Tick spell:
  • If the spell costs 3 or more mana of any number of colors, each of those colors' mana costs is reduced by 1.
  • Colors with mana costs of 2 or less are not affected.

Certain spells have reduced total mana costs when they are used as a default spell for a playable character. These spells are Attack Fly, Blender Blade, Puzzle Flick, and Stick. Rerolling the spell's mana cost when it has the reduced total mana cost will cause it to revert to its default, more expensive total mana cost.

Rerolling a Mana Cost
The mana cost of a spell can be rerolled by purchasing a shuffle needle from the vendor at the Wooden Nickel, when using a spell as Bum-bo the Dead, or when using a spell while the Bag-O-Trash trinket is in the player's possession. The cost is rerolled by randomly generating a new cost that has the same total mana cost of the default spell; any mana cost reduction is lost when the cost is rerolled. The new cost does not necessarily have the same number of colors of mana as the original spell; it only has to have the same total mana cost. Contrary to the generation of mana costs of new spells found in treasure rooms, a rerolled mana cost does not try to avoid costing the same color of mana as the player's other spells.

The Converter spell is a special case. When its cost is rerolled by purchasing a shuffle needle, the new cost will always be 2 mana of 1 color. Its cost cannot be rerolled in any other way while it still has its default cost, however its rerolled cost can be rerolled again by any means and will always stay as 2 mana of 1 color.

Update 3: Guide has been updated to add the new spells (thanks Curious Duck).

Many sections of the guide have been split into two parts; this is because there is an 8000 character limit on each section. If I think of a way around this I'll compress the sections back together, but for now the extra sections will have to do.

When are you planning to update this guide?
Jeff Adriaanse  [author] 4 Feb, 2021 @ 2:14pm 
Update 2: This guide is now complete. I have no plans to update the guide until DLC is released, except for small corrections or wording changes.

Update: I have added more information to certain spells and some other sections of the guide. Most notably, I added specifics on how the game generates treasure rooms. Next, I will add a few spells and spell images that I didn't manage to get into the guide before I posted it. I will also add more specifics on what certain spells do when I get around to testing them; ideally, there will be no spells with an empty 'effect' section.

I got the game recently, and this will likely be useful. Thank you for making this guide.
