====== Dew Vial ======

{{ rpd:images:dew_vial_item.png|Dew Vial }}

**Dew Vial** is a special item in Remixed Dungeon that allows players to store excess dewdrops for later consumption. It also provides an emergency healing mechanism if the hero is in mortal danger.

==== Description ====
The Dew Vial is a tiny vessel designed to hold dewdrops. Players can collect dewdrops into it when found in high grass, and then drink them when needed. Most importantly, if the vial is full when the player's health reaches zero, the dewdrops are consumed automatically to heal the player and prevent death.

==== Mechanics ====
  * **Storage Capacity:** Can hold up to 10 dewdrops
  * **Automatic Healing:** If full and player HP reaches 0, automatically consumed to heal the character
  * **Manual Drinking:** Can be consumed manually to heal a variable amount based on stored dewdrops
  * **Visual Indicator:** Glows white when full to indicate its charged state
  * **Healing Formula:** Healing amount follows the formula: `ceil(volume^(log10(20)) / 20 * character_HT)`

==== Stats ====
  * **Maximum Volume:** 10 dewdrops capacity
  * **Auto-Drink Feature:** Automatically consumed when HP reaches 0 if full
  * **Healing Calculation:** Healing amount based on formula: `ceil(volume^(log10(20)) / 20 * character_HT)` 
  * **Weight:** 1 (normal item weight)
  * **Type:** Consumable item with storage capability

==== Strategy ====
  * Collect dewdrops in high grass and store in the vial for emergencies
  * A full vial acts as a "second chance" when in mortal danger
  * Very useful for early-game survival when healing items are scarce
  * Keep the vial charged as you descend deeper into the dungeon

==== Obtaining ====
  * Can be found in shops, occasionally
  * Sometimes available as dungeon loot
  * More valuable to keep than individual dewdrops
