Arachne-fused monsters do not lose attack power over time, their current attack power rises at the same rate as their base power, creating an increasing disparity between current attack and double-base until they\'re healed.

the Trained wand has an extremely small but still nonzero chance of appearing randomly on any floor. Like a few other items, it\'s rare enough that it may take multiple playthroughs to find one without a barong.

* AwesomeYetPractical: U-Boat's Hidden Magic [=DeRock=], when used as Mixture Magic, summons Seiryu, the water dragon, to attack everything in the room. Great for when you're surrounded by 20+ monsters from a trap. And it is awesome.
** Not to mention the Gold Sword and Mirror Shield. Sure, the attack and defense are pathetic, but neither will be harmed in the least by the rust traps laying about. On the other hand, they still benefit from the Sands which give them a +1 to damage/defense, so after a few trips your weapon and shield will be on-par with the better equipment in the game, and it's only going to get more powerful as you progress up the tower.

awesome.
** The same goes for all of the bird monster, Dream, as well, whose Mixture Magic attacks are the most powerful and most impressive in the whole game, perhaps to compensate for the fact that it's otherwise virtually useless as a fighting monster (it can hypnotize other monsters into sleeping though).
** Not to mention the Gold Sword and Mirror Diamond Shield. Sure, the attack and defense are pathetic, but neither will be harmed in the least by the rust traps laying about. On the other hand, they still benefit from the Red/Blue Sands (red for swords, rlue for shields) which give them a +1 to damage/defense, so after a few trips your weapon and shield will be on-par with the better equipment in the game, and it's only going to get more powerful as you progress up the tower.
*** The Mirror Shield is not only immune to rust traps and can be improved by blue sands, it actually ''fully reflects back all magic'' to monsters. The Live Shield also deals damage to monsters, even just by standing there, but sadly it is not immune to rust traps.
**The

*** The Life Wand is immune to rust traps and while it only deals 1 HP per hit (and can't be enhanced), it ''gives you that 1 HP''. Best used when Koh also consumes Mahell seed, which boosts his attack speed.
** The Acid Rain ball kills ALL monsters in a room dead, no matter how high their level.
