Steven's Hat

A legendary hat worn by Steven himself. It crushes INT and CHA by 9 each — essentially eliminating spellcasting and social viability for most builds — while forcing all spells to require charge before casting and overriding their costs. Wearing Steven's Hat means operating entirely on Steven's terms. Whether those terms are worth it depends entirely on what Steven's framework enables for your specific build.

INT-9 and CHA-9 are catastrophic penalties for any caster or social build, but the hat also overrides all spell costs via SetSpellCost, meaning spells may become free or use a different resource entirely. OverrideAbilityNeedsCharge forces spells into a charge system — likely requiring a turn of preparation before each cast. This fundamentally changes how abilities work and rewards builds designed specifically around the charge mechanic rather than instant casts.

Steven's Hat is a run-defining item that only makes sense on builds designed for it from the start — pure physical fighters who weren't using INT or CHA anyway, or unusual builds that can exploit the charge system and free/modified spell costs for a unique advantage. It's almost certainly a loss on any build that arrived at it without a plan. When it works, it warps the entire combat framework into something entirely Steven-flavored.
