Developer’s Comment: Locked hearts can be exchanged between players because we want hearts to feel like an accomplishment for defeating the challenging malevolent monsters. Jewelry with malevolent sockets can be traded to ensure that there are multiple sources for jewelry with malevolent sockets that match the locked hearts that players have earned.
