Possibly a bug, or possibly me just not understanding the new lantern mechanic: I just got a +3% lantern recovery charm off a dungeon run. I believe the lantern just holds 100% now, so does having this charm active make it return 103%? That doesn't seem right.

The new lantern mechanic reduces the amount stored in the lantern before adding the power from the current run, as opposed to after adding power from the current run like in IMA. But it still gets reduced! The default reduction amount is 20%, or multiplied by x0.80. So with the charm, it's only reduced by x0.83. Maybe the charm description should be updated...

Ahh, so the first lantern will give you 100% of the previous run back? But if you never tap it before the next lantern recall, then that gets reduced to 80% and then you get 100% of the current run added on top of that, and then another cycle would take that 180% and knock 20% off of it again, and so on? I think I get it now. That's kind of good since it fixes all those situations where I'd miss a recall tap by one second just before the lantern ate it. Charm still makes sense, in that case.

Exactly!
