New Game Under Development Soon!
Hello everyone!
These last few weeks I've been doing a lot of research into different things, and I'm very close to starting production on the next game in the Legends of Vitaria series. The layout of the story is complete, and I'm just figuring out the specifics.
If you're interested, please follow me on Twitter. I'll post updates there. Thank you, and stay tuned!
Prayer of Guidance's tooltip has been corrected. Before, it was reading 50%, when it should've been a 20% increase to Hit Chance.
The tier 2 symbol for Athena has been renamed, correcting a spelling error.
As always, your feedback is appreciated. Thank you!

2nd Mini Update
Morning everyone! Today, I fixed a few small things.

One of Damien's dialogues during battle has been adjusted to be more concise.
The Ruby can now be sold, and its description has been corrected.
All of Aedric's incantations for Rexus Ultima should be coloured correctly now.

Small Update
A small update this early Saturday morning.
I squashed a bug where the Fear status couldn't be removed via Encourage, leaving the target paralyzed for the rest of battle. The affected character should be able to act normally now once Encouraged.
All Holy actions' dialogue are coloured orange-yellow, as per the element's colour.
Happy adventuring, everyone!
