Rare Charm Items?

[Agent 12]

Maybe I never noticed this before but does charm not always return the same item?  I'm messing with Chrono tweaker and say i make the dropped item tonic and the "charmed" item mid tonic.  Charm still seems to return tonic.  I'm wondering if there's like a 10% chance of getting the "charmed" item and 90% chance of getting the "dropped item" when using charm?

To summarize  is the charmed item really just a "rare item"...maybe double charm increases the chance of getting the rare item?

From my experience in playing the game (and not in the coding process), you get separate items from the Charm and Twin Charm techs.

Yeah, this hasn't really been figured out yet.  As you mentioned, there's some kind of second chance check that allows the rare item to be received instead.

Rare drop is the same as normal charm and rare charm is the same as normal drop.

(Edit)

Twin Charm and Charm Top only increase the success rate of Charm.  Neither affect the normal/rare rate.
