The Typing of Isaac!
I hope you can type fast, because the enemies can run faster!
St. Dvorak’s Tablet can be found in the Treasure Room pool, and its effect causes enemies to display text below their sprites.
Typing in the word displayed deals heavy damage to the enemy proportional to Isaac’s damage and the length of the word.
The word length is randomly determined based on the max health of the enemy and Isaac’s tears stat.
These words can range from 1 to 12 characters, and do not contain "E", "Q", "F", "M", or "P".
In addition, "J" cannot appear while using Da Rules, and "C" and "L" cannot appear while using Mod Config Menu.
However, a quick note about that: restricting the pool of words even more is inevitably going to shrink the number of words that can be generated. So, if you’re using Da Rules and Mod Config Mod and this mod all at the same time, this item is going to generate a LOT of duplicate words, and I can’t really do much about that.
This mod also now support tear effects, and HOO BOY, there’s a lot of them! Here’s an exhaustive list:
The following effects cause special letters to appear in words, and typing those words trigger their respective effects:
– Spider Bite (slow)
– The Common Cold (poison)
– Mom’s Contacts (freeze)
– Mom’s Eyeshadow (charm)
– Mom’s Perfume (fear)
– Fire Mind (fire)
– Holy Light (holy beam)
– God’s Flesh (shrink)
These next effects trigger after correctly typing a character:
– The Mulligan (chance to spawn a Blue Fly)
– Parasitoid (chance to spawn a Blue Spider)
– The Parasite (fires two tears in opposite directions)
– Cricket’s Body (fires four tears in cardinal directions)
– Mysterious Liquid (deals damage)
– Head of the Keeper (chance to spawn a Coin)
– Jacob’s Ladder (fires a Technology beam)
– Anti-Gravity (increases the amount of stun dealt to enemies)
The following effects are purely cosmetic:
– Spectral tears
– Homing tears
– Continuum
– Rainbow Cookie/3 Dollar Bill/Fruit Cake
– Wiggle Worm
– Pulse Worm
– Ring Worm
– Ouroborus Worm
More unique effects:
A Lump of Coal – Deals more damage based on Isaac’s distance from the enemy.
Ipecac – Causes an Ipecac explosion when a word is typed.
The Ludovico Technique – Isaac’s tear also has a word attached. Typing the word fires tears in all directions.
Haemolacria – Spawns a balloon tear by the enemy when a word is typed.
Brimstone – Fires a Brimstone beam in a random direction when a word is typed.
Technology – Fires several Technology lasers in random directions when a word is typed.
Tech X – Fires a Tech X laser ring in a random direction when a word is typed.
Dr. Fetus/Epic Fetus – Causes an explosion when a word is typed.
Chocolate Milk – Deals bonus damage based on the size of the word when it is typed.
Almond Milk/Soy Milk – Negates the damage down when calculating damage.
Also adds a new challenge named "This Spells Doom". You can probably guess what the challenge is.
