General information

To use a carving, the player simply drops it. The Carving will utter its eponymous phrase upon hitting the ground (for example, the "Help Me! Carving" will say "Help Me!"). Similar in function to the Prism Stone, if the player cannot hear the phrase, then the drop is fatal.

Carvings have an unlimited amount of uses.

The Carvings

All carvings can be found inside the land of Oolacile. They have all been carved by Hawkeye Gough.
