Stats
There are 6 statistics that enhance the player character. Statistics have a value between 0 and 9.
The primary way of increasing stats is collecting Stat Up consumables, like 
Luck Up, that permanently increase a stat by one, or praying at corresponding Template:AltarLink.
Other ways to increase stats include:
The game doesn't track stats over max. This means that if you have a stat at 9 (max) and then gain and immediately lose a stat, your stat will drop to 8. This can happen if picking up and dropping 
Loki's Bargain when a stat is maxed.
