Effects

  • Each newly discovered Secret Room has a shining beam of light that will raise tears for the current floor and gives Isaac a Half Soul Heart.pngHalf Soul Heart when walked under.
    • The first light gives Isaac +1 tears fired per second, and all subsequent ones give +0.5 tears fired per second.
    • This gives a potential +2.5 tears per second for a given floor, on top of 2 soul hearts.
    • The tears up breaks the default 5 tears per second cap.
  • Once the effect is triggered for the floor, a silver-bluish shine will appear around Isaac. This light will be strengthened for every beam of light "gathered".

Notes
