[p][/p][p]‘Tis the spooky season! And nothing is spookier to us than releasing yet another update within less than 30 days! The last update focused a lot on the new realm, the Astral Riftlands. But in the meantime we’ve been working on more content we’d love to share today![/p][p][/p][h3]✨2 new Spells[/h3][p][/p][p]We’ve added 2 new spells to the game: Swirl Sickle and Spear Barrage. These spells are added to the pool of spells and can be selected just like any other in a run.[/p][p][/p][h3]👻A new Enemy[/h3][p][/p][p]This pretty lady has entered the battlefield! The Broodmaw is an elite enemy that will drop eggs that hatch after some time. Spoiler alert: you don’t want the eggs to hatch.[/p][p][/p][h3]🎯A new Objective[/h3][p][/p][p]A herd of Mana Beasts has escaped, and the Brigade needs them for their, well, mana. If encountered on a mission, the wizards will have to herd them to the nearest pen so they can be returned home safely.[/p][p][/p][h3]😈Lots of Dark improvements[/h3][p][/p][p]We’ve done a lot of improvements to the Dark element. More specifically, a lot of enemies have custom behavior when corrupted. Even the mighty Sol’phish and Krog’wa can now get corrupted, if your spells are strong enough.[/p][p][/p][h3]🎃Pumpkins everywhere![/h3][p][/p][p]Bryony’s attempt at a secret mission to the forbidden Pumpkin Realm has backfired, and now they’re everywhere! We’ve added 4 pumpkin outfits that you can try to unlock (they’re pretty cool).[/p][p][/p][h3]😱And the spookiest feature…[/h3][p][/p][p]We removed the update countdown! Aah! Before you start panicking - this is for a very valid reason! We’ve been cranking out updates for more than a year now. This spooky 13th update will be the last content update before we release our big 1.0 update.[/p][p]When, you ask? All we can say for now is that you’ll know soon, and that 1.0 will not be the end for The Spell Brigade! So stay tuned! If you want more updates on what we’re working on, check out our Discord. We share stuff there every week. We’ve also updated the roadmap one more time, which should give you an idea of what’s still coming.[/p][p]Now, onto the patch notes![/p][p][/p][h2]PATCH NOTES – 0.13.0.6449 (22-10-25)[/h2][h3]✨NEW[/h3]
