I do have EliMZ_Book and EliMZ_SkillCost for my RPG Maker MZ project.
But uh-update on testing:
I considered the possibility that I should use a more up-to-date version of MZ so I loaded the project on my Steam copy and it works??
Why everything EXCEPT the HPCost tag works is beyond me, though.
As for pressing F8/12, itch is not letting me respond with the picture, so I hyperlinked it instead.
