Dark Wizard Savestate Hacking - Castin Edition

[ladyabaxa]

I sat down for awhile and poked around in the game's RAM while in the town of Castin. Here's what I learned. If I return to mess with the town some more I will edit this post with updates.

UPDATE: I did some simple work with a savestate in the town of Arien. The results have been appended.
