Shattered Pixel Dungeon's next major update will be going to beta early this coming week.

Here's one more new thing coming in v2.5: new cursed wand effects! I'm adding 16 new effects, ranging from simple bubbles to a rare but extreme supernova explosion! The bubbles are harmless but you really, really want to avoid the explosion.

Fun! Do you expect this change to significantly effect the power of the resin trinket, or do they mostly keep the balance?

I do expect this to be a soft nerf to wondrous resin, as you'll be less likely to get certain very beneficial effects.

If these new effects means that you are less likely of triggering the cursed trap effect and the one that takes you like 10 floors above, then they are welcome

Yes, existing effects are effectively half as common now.
