## Penalties
A banned glitch which saves under 1 second with no other benefits, at verifier's discretion, may receive a 2 second penalty instead of rejection. Benefits which lead to rejection include but are not limited to:
- Any advantage gained during a boss fight.
- Any advantage which bypasses or trivializes technical movement.
- Any advantage in soul, hp, or geo beyond what could be acquired in 1 second otherwise.
