I played a run where I don't have enough pearls to complete the run. I used 2 pearls at the water spirit and 1 pearl to open a gate on an island. I've cleared every island in the zone and there were only 4. There was no warning whatsoever about possibly locking myself out of run completion when I used the spirit or else I wouldn't have used it. This is definitely something that shouldn't be able to happen - at least unknowingly.

Yeah, this shouldn't have happened.
Do you happen to have a recording of your playthrough?
There's a seed here:

Sorry, I do not. If I run into it again I'll repost. I don't know if it'll help at all, but I was in a zone with Nia's Wrench.

each mission is an instance with a unique seed, so even if you were doing Nia's Wrench, the layout can be different.
We've noted the issue and will work towards a solution. There should alwasy be enough Pearls on the map but sometimes the algorythm messes up.
Super helpful feedback, thanks! Hope you're enjoying the game anyway.

Yes, even if I failed the zone, I was able to complete the story mission. So everything was fine.
