Stuff that should change
Do you feel like this item is unbalanced ? Do you have an idea on how to fix it ? Suggestions on the code or maybe even easter eggs that could be added ? Well this is the place for all that, and for more precise matter, by all means send me a message :)

balance wise: i think it balance tho it may need to be a 4 or 5
for what i understand and some scenario i can imagine. i think it balance
tho i have one question. what happen on X2/X4 choice item-room, unpaid devil dill and shop's?
A:if it take all anyway. then it a blessing and a curse + you can big-brain dill's
aka balance
B: just take one at random and a flat "no you cant" on dill's then it balance but underwhelming and very risky
(i prefer A)

easter eggs: i got some idea's
-if you have this and go too a dice-room the room change too something unique (cosmetic)
-if you somehow get more S-D6 and use the one you have. it work's normally but after that every S-d6 that pop's are passive's.
sins it a paradoxical situation you can make a "domino effect" of some kind and make this go out of hands REALLY fast.

here a this D&D scenario for what i mine:
image a fishing rode that only fish more of it self.
one match on the 20-ish rode's later and you got a good fire for the night.
one match on the 500-ish rode's later and you got a fire too big too control

now put that this context whit the S-d6.
have fun coming up whit something :)

Thanks for the ideas ! For now the die is coded so that multiple choice items are all absorbed at once, but unpaid ones are not. If you want to absorb a devil item, it will work just the same as void since you have to use the die during the pickup animation. Personally I like it that way since this item can be found in devil deals, so making it more useful in angel rooms forces you to go to sacrifice rooms or find alternatives to get there even though they're technically blocked. But on the other hand, using it on a devil item will give you many of this one without the need of paying with your hearts each time.

Plus there's one thing I didn't write in the description but I'll do that now, which is that every item absorbed grants a broken heart in the spirit of magic skin, so the choice to pick all the items in the room or just one depends on your health as well and not only what the game gives you. Although I'll keep in mind the idea to bump it to q4.
I have to admit I didn't think of the scenario of using it on itself haha you have a good point, I don't know what I could do with that but I'll try to figure out something

balance choice 10/10

i think the "fishing rode of irony" or the F.R.I to make it short. is a nice but vague suggestion of what can happen. the concept is there. but the what happens next is missing...
tho not even me is coming whit something cool.

all i have is a blood puppy rip-off which i'm sure we can agree, is very f***ing lame for a rare paradoxical event.

this kinda need to be big.

like what are the chance? diplopia rare and Crooked penny is a massive gamble
all i'm gonna say is this: take you're time whit this one.
