The former are. (Current Mall price: 100 meat.) I usually accumulate a dozen or two of them while plowing through their area, as they're very common drops and I generally spend a lot of early-game time in that area. Even if the Sorceress interrupts half of them, you'll still likely come out ahead on HP.

The other item I mentioned is pricier, but since that's my main endgame-levelling area, I tend to accumulate a bunch.

In a typical Ascension, I never even _see_ the Hole in the Sky. By the time I'm powerful enough to adventure there, the Sorceress is dead and I'm on to my next time through, and you can purchase all six of the necessary items from that area from the Mall on a one-time basis. That's the hat, pants, buckler, a weapon, familiar and key, for those playing at home.

We really need to get Toad to implement mouse-over spoiler tags.

Also, the DB's standard attack doesn't use MPs, though Moxious Maneuver does. Yes, I really attack the first form with the Wand.
