List of consumable items

Like most RPGs, the Golden Sun series features a wide variety of items that the player can use to his or her advantage. The following items are consumable, meaning that the item will disappear when used. Fortunately, these items are "stackable", a term used to describe items that only take up one inventory slot despite a given character having multiple copies of the item. In the Golden Sun series, each party member can hold up to 30 copies of any consumable item.

HP-restoring items
These items are used to heal an Adept's Hit Points, or HP. If a character runs out of HP, they faint and cannot take part in battle. Also, these items will only work on a character who has not yet fainted.
