  • Health (Masks): Top-left corner. Each mask represents one hit point. Losing all masks results in death.
  • Soul Meter: Below health. Fills by hitting enemies. Used for Focus (healing) and Spells.
  • Geo Counter: Top-right corner. Displays your current currency.
  • Charm Notches: Below Geo. Indicates available slots for Charms.
