New starting weapon unlock system: acquire Serpent Coins from dismantling Idols. Spend those to open special Chests that will contain a weapon unlock to be used on any following runs.

Default unlocks: bone, spear, staff, fist, pistol

New weapon: staff -> cast all spells you have as it fires slow-moving stars at enemies.

New classes: Sorcerer, Soldier, Scallywag. everyone starts as Simple, unlock more classes with the special chest.

Changed spellcasting: Each attack has a chance to cast on-hit spells, which is dependant on having sufficient Brainpower. More Brains = cast Spells more often.
