How Totems Work

  1. An island draws its totems From a list: 9 for a run's islands, 10 for the shop island, each as likely as its spawn weight says.
  2. Using one can make it explode Each has its own chance, from 25% to 100%. Sturdy Totems gives guaranteed uses first.
  3. Its glow tells it apart Most totems share one stone; each has a colour of its own, which the game gives its glow.

Read from the totems' blueprints and the game's spawn lists. What a totem does when you use it is in the game's code, not in its files, so it is not listed here; a spawn weight or chance marked "game default" is left to the code as well. The pictures light each totem in its glow colour; where that light sits and how strong it is are estimated.
