Changes

• The behavior of our spells and the properties that make up the crafting experience have been overhauled to ensure that there are multiple valid approaches to crafting within any given Sigil. Elemental spells are treated differently from the others, which represents a shift in design philosophy. Specialty spells such as Delirium are more focused and are a bit more advanced in their usage, requiring increased player skill but allowing us to make them more powerful.
  

• Player and NPC stats have been rebalanced to reflect magic system changes and to ensure that all valid play styles are equally represented.
  
• Loot rooms drops have been revisited. Drops are smarter and overall epic-ness is reduced a little, but farming is allowed.
  

• Usability and presentation of the Crafting/Equipping/Synthesis Screens have been improved.
  

• Old Drivasser and Grey Teeth will have gates established at intervals throughout the level to prevent players from being able to run from start to finish without engaging enemies. Some additional gating will be employed by changing NPC composition.
  

• Cultists have been improved so that they offer distinct gameplay from their Undead counterparts.
  
• Cultists have been debugged so they provide a more compelling gameplay challenge for players.
  
• Cultists have had a significant animation pass to improve their aesthetics.
  

• Boss behavior has been improved and refined, with the addition of a new story-oriented NPC.
  

• Overhauled and improved blink system.
  
• Players have more control over the Nova associated with Blink.
  

• Improved overall performance for higher-end hardware.
  
• Removed/reduced hitching that occurs when enemies spawn or when effects play for the first time.
