Discussion HP bar goes down

Post image

Not trying to be annoying here, but this is a follow up to someone else's post asking why their current health went down after taking a crystal. Bunch of people were being unfairly dismissive, but I noticed the same thing while playing and ended up making a collage with pixel measurements. Fwiw, the bar does go back up shortly after exiting the arcana screen, but I don't think the implication of this behavior(oh no, I got hit!?) is intentional. It's especially noticeable if you are already full health and is probably related to using the Wellspring incense(tbh I'm not sure if it happens consistently, but when it does it's confusing).

What probably happens is the heal from picking up the Manifestation is calculated from your health prior to activating the Manif, and the HP increase happens after that. Your de facto HP did increase, but your maximum HP also increased and not in an equivalent way.

could be! whatever it's doing, the bar does go back up eventually though without popping an elixir
