Medal of Merit

Medals of Merit are medals given out at the Festival of Merit in Jigow.

Description
There are seven different medals of merit, one for each of the competitions at the Festival of Merit. Each type of medal, when activated, confers a temporary benefit that can only be used once. After this benefit has been used, the medal remains but is no longer magical.
