Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin: Portrait of Ruin: Playable Shanoa with Charlotte

Why play as only one spellcaster when you can play as two? Shanoa and Charlotte team up!

Shanoa replaces Jonathan and she can use all of his armor/accessories (no dresses etc. for balancing reasons), but weapons/subweapons come in the form of "weapon glyphs" (Hasta, Secare, Ignis, Sinestro Custos, Lapiste etc.) and "subweapon glyphs" (Luminatio, Vol Ignis, Grando etc.) and they can drop from enemies, be found laying around or be bought from the shop.

Balance could be a little crazy, as there are a lot of changes, but it shouldn't be TOO broken (hopefully!).

This is a ROM hack of Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, please utilize xdelta (https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/) to patch the correct version of the game.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Character information:

-Jonathan turned into Shanoa (Sage Ring provided at the start to increase MP regen)
-Shanoa pairs up with Charlotte (who still has all her stuff)
-Shanoa can only use Jonathan gear, for balance reasons (or an attempt, at least)

Enemy information:
-Some enemies now drop eiher "weapon glyphs" or "subweapon glyphs". If an enemy had no drops before, it still drops nothing. If it had, then it might drop a glyph.

Glyphs:
-Some glyphs are recreated as weapons and some as subweapons. Both "weapon glyphs" and "subweapon glyphs" can be dropped, found or bought.
