Hack description

In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and its followup The Legend of Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets, there exists code for a 2nd upgrade to the magic meter that cuts consumption to 1/4 of the original. This upgrade can be enabled with cheat devices in either game by setting RAM value 7EF37B to 02. It was also implemented as an optional patch for Ancient Stone Tablets Weeks 3 and 4. However, there are 2 items that this does not work with: the Lantern and the Magic Cape. These continue to consume magic at the 1/2 level. This patch gives a 1/4 magic meter consumption value to the 2 items for The Ancient Stone Tablets.
