Noted for the future.
It's just that I actually tried something like what you suggested in two other games before this, and everyone thought it was too tedious and they forgot what they could do kek.
So I thought it best to just give the player a sandbox and just let them practice from there with everything shown so that they both get things quickly, but also don't forget what button does what
As for alchemy, the shadow essence dropped from enemies is converted into health or to power up your special attack if you absorb it.
Anyway, thanks for playing :)
