Many enemy items in Reunion have equipment that refers to affecting dice, not coins, in the localisations

Take "This is Fine" as an example - description "Burn all dice". In the Robot episode, this will still say "Burn all dice" even though you're not using dice. In English, this is mostly not a problem, this example aside - but some of the localisations have a more serious issue here.

Some localisations have translated common strings like "Inflict [ice]1 freeze" as "Freeze [ice]1 dice" - which is obviously fine in vanilla, but suddenly causes a problem in this episode. There are six status effects that could potentially be a problem, depending on the language - Fire, Freeze, Lock, Haunted, Vanish, and Blind.

The solution here is to:

  • [ ] Identify all Reunion enemy equipment that inflicts dice related statuses
  • [ ] Use the Rules.substitute() function to replace them with coin versions, like e.g. Spatula@coin
  • [ ] Use the substitutions.csv sheet to replace the new descriptions with old ones, and then
  • [ ] Check with translators that are affected

How much work this is depends on how many pieces of equipment are affected, which I think is probably about a dozen or so items.
