0.6.0 — The Abyss

New models

• Archheretic Malgor — a new boss model (1.6 × 3.6 blocks) with glowing eyes, heart crystal and runes, three floating tomes and ghostly spirit arms. Nine animations: idle, hover-walk, staff slam, blood chains, tome barrage, summon, eye beam, great eclipse and a crumbling death.
• Wraith — a hooded ghost with a scythe, summoned by the Wraith Summon spell. Half-transparent, with glowing eyes and blade.
• 15 animated spell models for the new dark spells, including a spiked shadow bolt, a rune ring with an eye, a void scythe, a black sun, bone spikes, a grave hand, a soul lantern, a lich crown, a blood wisp, a plague fly, a hex totem, a blood moon and a chalice with a dagger.
• Custom boss bar for Malgor: a stone slab with bone teeth, chains and crimson crystals, a flowing violet-crimson fill and the horned Eye of the Abyss.

Dark magic

• 15 dark spells in three schools: Shadow, Necromancy and Blood & Hex.
• Codex of the Abyss opens the new Abyss Atlas. Spend soul shards there on dark spells, 3 upgrades per spell and 7 passive nodes. Right click refunds a node.
• Hidden atlas nodes stay sealed until their branch reaches them or a Heretic Lectern reveals them.
• Cursed Tome teaches a random dark spell.

Heretic cult blocks

• Building blocks: Heretic Stone, Heretic Bricks (with stairs and slab), Cracked Heretic Bricks, Chiseled Eye Stone (the eye glows at night), Ossuary Bricks and Cult Pillar.
• Blood Moss creeps over grass near sanctums; flowers can't be planted on it.
• Ritual Altar transforms an item with soul shards (2× faster at night):
  • bone → Essence of Darkness
  • gold → Cursed Gold
  • Ability Book → Codex of the Abyss
  • Bottle of Blood → Cursed Tome
• Soul Brazier — lit with a soul shard. Gives light, +25% mana regeneration nearby, and undead don't burn next to it.
• Cursed Obelisk — calls heretics at night and gives them Strength. Only a netherite pickaxe breaks it; drops 3–5 soul shards.
• Heretic Lectern — 2 soul shards once a day and reveals a dark spell. Holds a Codex.
• Blood Font — curses potions (stronger effects plus short Wither) and fills Bottles of Blood. Refills at night.
• Seal of the Abyss and Throne of the Archheretic for the boss arena.
