Sigils of Ra
When a Mirrored Pyramid is upgraded to a larger size, there is a probability that it will collapse (based on the size to be upgraded to). If the player has a Sigil of Ra (or multiple Sigils) in their inventory, each Sigil prevents one collapse of the pyramid. For example, if a pyramid of size 50 is upgraded to size 51, there is a 50% chance the pyramid will collapse when upgraded. With one Sigil of Ra, one possible collapse can be avoided and the upgrade is "re-rolled".
Multiple Sigils can be created (one at a time), and multiple Sigils can be consumed when the pyramid is upgraded if the "re-roll" still results in a collapse. The upgrade will continue until either the pyramid stands at the new size, or the player runs out of Sigils and the pyramid collapses.
