Magic Skin

Magic Skin is an active item.

Effects

 * Generates one item from the current room's item pool.
 * Consumes 1 heart container or 2 soul hearts and turns them into a broken heart, which permanently decreases the maximum health limit.

Trivia

 * This is a reference to the book by Honoré de Balzac called La Peau de chagrin. In the story, the main character finds a special talisman that grants wishes, but each wish weakens him and causes the talisman to become smaller, as well as his lifetime.
 * This also may be a reference to the goatskin Jacob uses to trick his father Isaac into thinking he was Esau, thus giving him his blessing along with the divine right God had promised Abraham (Isaac's father), which included inheriting the promised land and having his bloodline bring forth the Messiah.
