Blacklemage Any% - Don't Try This at Home EleGiggle

This is a BKH and Sorcery Any% route. It should be faster than pure Sorcery, I think... I call it 'Blacklemage' in homage to the All
Bosses route of the same name that also started with the BKH and then used Sorcery later.

Warning: I don't suggest trying this at home. I am a highly trained amateur speedrunner. Failure to heed this warning may result in
frustration, tilting, and general badness. If you have to try it anyway, good luck!
