What in the flying fuck are semi-temporary powerups?

These don't really seem temporary since for a lot of them you can keep them forever as long as you don't die. I was thinking more along the lines of potions in The Witcher.

That new wacky game with the nonbinary genderqueer trans girl, I think it's called my diary or something :3

Pretty much every JRPG ever gives you items that'll boost your ATK/DEF/etc. for one battle. People stock them until they hit 99 then bitch about grinding, go figure.

Powerups that you loose when you get hit or when you die or get a soft game over as well as powerups that you loose when you pick up a different powerup. The point is that they don't become intrinsic to your character once acquired like in Zelda or Mega Man for example.

That's why I included semi temporary. I wasn't exactly talking about stock items although those might fit too in certain situations.
