An Amazing Wizard News

In the last 2 weeks we were mainly working on creating option to add spells into your weapons, making it possible to enable / disable most of the meta progression upgrades, a new normal enemy and balancing enemies. We have also removed all temporary enemies from the game.

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [World] Added Magic Forge where you can add Spells into your Magic Weapons! The cost of it is increasing the cooldown of the weapon.
• [World] The game get's a little bit darker (visually) with each difficulty level.
  
• [Enemies] Added new enemy named Chaosbane Lizardman.
  
• [Bosses] Added Ice Boss emote.
  
• [Meta Progression] Added option to enable and disable any meta progression upgrade.
  

[h2]🔄 Changed:[/h2]

• [Enemies / Balance] Slightly increased max HP of enemies on 2 highest difficulty levels (roughly by about 4-7%).
  
• [Enemies / Balance] Reduced extra damage dealt by enemies on higher difficulty levels from +0 / 15 / 30 / 50% to +0 / 8 / 16 / 25% extra damage dealt.
  
• [Enemies / Balance] Reduced base stats multiplier for normal enemies from [-25% ; +25%] to [-17% ; +17%]. This means that every enemy now have chance to be up to 17% slower/faster, deal up to 17% less/more damage, etc.
  
• [Enemies / Balance] Reduced extra damage dealt by elite enemies from +125% to +85%. Elite bosses could deal way too much damage before this change.
  
• [Spells] Summon the Army spell can no longer summon monsters from the Void.
  
• [Spells] Improved visual of Magic Wall spell.
  

[h2]⚙️ Fixed:[/h2]

• [Bosses] Fixed a bug where sometimes the reward room was not opening after killing a boss. This was related to removing effects and projectiles after killing him. Don't ask about the spaghetti involved here 🍝
  
• [Weapons] Fixed a bug where Frog's King Wand could summon Werewolves instead of Frogs.
  
• [Weapons] Fixed a bug where Skull Staff's icon was not displaying.
  
• [Spells] Magic Wall now blocks all enemy projectiles, even these piercing walls.
  
• [Curses] Curse of Madness (making you unable to see HP, keys or currencies) now loads correctly.
  

[h2]❌ Removed:[/h2]

• [Enemies] Removed all remaining temporary enemies.

In the last 2 weeks we were mainly working on finishing the ice boss, adding Magic Hands always visible near player and many QOL changes.

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [Enemies] Finished Freyja, Queen of Ice who is a newly added boss!
• [QOL / Spells Merging] Merged projectiles in spells are now less random - added large chance for them to fire towards cursor or your current position.
• [QOL] Magic Hands are now always visible near the character. Thanks to this change it feels much better to cast spells now.
• [QOL] It's now possible to hover over icons in Items and Perks descriptions to see what they represent.
  
• [QOL] Adventurer NPC now displays number of completed and all existing challenges.
  
• [QOL / Settings] Added option to switch Basic Spell into auto-fire mode in the settings (making it work as a toggle).
  
• [Main Menu] Added popup informing about important Early Access stuff in the right-up corner of the Main Menu.
  
• [Achievements] Added 2 new Achievements (for finishing the tutorial and for dying for the first time).
  
• [Perks] Added 2 new Perks (related to mana).
  
• [Biomes] Added small fog effect inside some of the cemetery areas in the ice level.
  

[h2]🔄 Changed:[/h2]

• [QOL] It's now possible to stomp by simply pressing the down arrow button without the need of pressing both "Jump" and "Down Arrow" buttons at the same time. It made stomping way easier to use.
• [Spells Merging] [Buff] Changed many spell merged effects from simple "Casts SACRIFICED_SPELL when casting MAIN_SPELL" to "Casts X-Y SACRIFICED_SPELL(s) in the nearby area of casted MAIN_SPELL".
• [Spells Merging] [Buff] Luck increases spells merging success chance by 0.7 => 1.75 for every luck.
  
• [Shopkeeper] Killing the Shopkeeper in any level will cause him to not spawn in the next level, but in the levels afterwards he will always attack the player on sight.
  
• [NPCs] Quest NPC can no longer spawn in the first level of the first difficulty level. It was done to reduce amount of things thrown at the new player at once.
  
• [Inventory] Renamed "Disposable" tab to "Miscallenous".
  
• [Items / Perks] Reworked Magic Root artifact and Garden Perk. Now they heal few times faster, but can heal only up to 30% maximum health instead of full health.
  
• [Spells] Reduced spells mana cost increase for every grade level by 30%. Spells found on higher levels will no longer cost insane amount of mana.
  
• [Weapons] Increased Fiery Blade damage by 120%
  
• [Weapons] Increased Crystalline Sword damage by 350% - it's also no longer available from the beginning.
  

[h2]⚙️ Fixed:[/h2]

• [UI / Settings] Updated keybindings are now properly shown in spells and minimap UI after changing controls in the settings.
  
• [Shop] Fixed a bug where sometimes the Shopkeeper's fight theme could play as soon as you started new level (even though he was not enraged).
  
• [Ladders] Player should no longer get stuck on ladders when trying to jump while climbing. The bug was causing you to "jump on ladder with close to 0 force".
  

[h2]❌ Removed:[/h2]

• [Quests] Removed Mana Infusion quest from possible Quest NPC quests.

In the last week we were mainly working on finishing and adding the game's story. We are also working on the next boss!

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [Story] Finished all story-related elements for the Early Access release.
  
• [Enemies] Added Ice Boss. Freyja, Queen of Ice is waiting for you!
  
• [World] Added purple fog on higher difficulty levels.
  

[h2]🔄 Changed:[/h2]

• [Camera] Improved camera movement. It's now more smooth.
  
• [Enemies] Changed temporary enemies in the last level.
  

[h2]❌ Removed:[/h2]

• [QOL] Removed Change Spell Window. Spells will now automatically pickup to your inventory when picking up a spell while having 3 spells equipped. This old window had sense long ago when the Inventory didn't exist and now it was just annoying to see it.
  
• [Enemies] Removed on-death effect from the Hellhound. He could damage you after death on second+ difficulty level, but it was really annoying. (lesson learned after playing Path of Exile 2). This was the only on-death effect so don't worry about it.

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [Story] Added most of the story elements.
  
• [QOL] All projectiles and effects are now destroyed the moment boss dies. Without this change you could die from the boss attack after you had already defeated him. It was really annoying once that happened.
