So... first Mosswine Jerky is made relevant by making it a cure for Bleeding. Now Bitterbugs are made relevant by making them the cure for "Confusion". It seems they'd rather give old items new significance than make up more items. Not that I'm saying that's a bad thing.

... But why would Horo's beam attack cause Sleep? Maybe the frequency of the noise is tuned specifically to knock you out, or something?
