It's sorta like a spell... its a 'special ability'. she can throw her hair and use it to grab ahold of higher areas and pull herself up. she can only use it like on poles or something that her hair can wrap around, and she has to find the hair-hook first.

good idea, but i don't think that you should get it immediately. maybe halfway through the game you find a scroll that teaches you this ability, and you can go back to the screens where you need it.
