About Future Updates
Hello Adventurers,
Since Low Magic Age was released on Steam, we have been improving it with weekly minor updates for months. This rapid iterative development method can quickly collect player feedbacks and process in time. It is a perfect solution when there are a lot of details and minor problems to deal with.
After we moved on to the adventure mode as the main job, we found the old updating solution is no longer high-efficiency. No matter how much time is spent on a routine update, the adventure mode development will always be interrupted and work efficiency reduced ;(
The better way is that finishing a complete adventure code module and then making a big update based on player feedbacks collected during the period. It's also more suitable for major content updates, like new classes or the vancian magic system.
So we'll use this solution for future updates, instead of the weekly minor updating.

v0.85.11 Patch Notes
Added 14 spells:
True Strike
You gain temporary, intuitive insight into the immediate future during your next attack. Your next single attack roll gains a +20 bonus.
Remove Fear
You instill courage in the subject, remove the fear effect and grant it a +4 morale bonus against fear effects.
Protection from Spells
The subject gains a +8 resistance bonus against spells.
Heroism
Imbues target with great bravery and morale in battle. The target gains a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves.
Greater Heroism
Functions like heroism, but the bonus is +4. Additionally, the target gains immunity to fear effects, and temporary hit points equal to your caster level.
False Life
You harness the power of unlife to grant yourself a limited ability to avoid death. While this spell is in effect, you gain temporary hit points equal to 1d10 +1 per caster level.
Death Knell
You draw forth the ebbing life force of a living creature and use it to fuel your own power. The hit points of the target must be less than 1/5 max hit points. If the spell succeeds, the target dies, and you gain 1d8 temporary hit points and a +2 bonus to Strength. Additionally, your effective caster level goes up by +1, improving spell effects dependent on caster level.
Death Ward
The subject is immune to all death spells, magical death effects, and any negative energy effects.
Halt Undead
Renders undead creatures immobile. A nonintelligent undead creature gets no saving throw; an intelligent undead creature does. The effect is broken if the halted creatures are attacked or take damage.
Hold Monster
Functions like Hold Person, but affects any living creature.
Mass Hold Monster
Functions like Hold Monster, but bigger area of effect.
Irresistible Dance
The subject feels an undeniable urge to dance and begins doing so, complete with foot shuffling and tapping.\n\nThe spell effect makes it impossible for the subject to do anything other than caper and prance in place. The effect imposes a -4 penalty to AC and a -10 penalty on Reflex saves, and it negates any AC bonus granted by a shield the target holds. The dancing subject provokes opportunity attacks each round on its turn.

How time flies! It has been half a year since we released Low Magic Age on Steam at January. First of all, thank you for your long-term support and help! Thank you for your suggestions and advice that help us to improve this game!
Up to now, we've released 34 updates of LMA, including two new classes, various new spells, the combat maneuvers feat tree, glory points and privileges system of the arena, supporting Steam Workshop, trading cards, integrated shop/craft/upgrade functions, and party management, etc. And more content and features will be added continuously!
As we said in the Early Access statement, we started the EA stage of LMA at a low price to thank players who have been supporting and caring about us since the prototype stage. As the game develops, the price will be gradually increased until the full release. Therefore, after the current discount event, we intend to increase the game price from 4 US dollars to 6 US dollars.
