Arcanum Unbound

Arcanum Unbound — 0.3.9.9

⚠ Experimental Pre-0.4 Build

This release continues development beyond the initial experiment phase and focuses on stabilizing and expanding the core magic systems.

✨ Added

• Soul Resonator crafting recipe

• Core Sigil: Touch (fully implemented)
  Touch is now a complete core sigil with unique behavior:

  • Works with both Burst and Drain forms

  • Applies close-range and area-based effects

  • Emphasizes risk, proximity, and resource trade-offs

🔮 Improved

• Expanded interaction between Core / Form / Modifier systems

• Drain form now works consistently on:

  • hostile mobs

  • passive mobs

  • players

• Modifier effects (Fracture, Echo, Decay) now properly interact with Touch-based magic

🧪 Balance & Design

• Touch magic favors reliability and proximity over raw damage

• Drain mechanics reinforce parasitic and risky playstyles

• Decay modifier reduces mana cost at the price of self-inflicted negative effects

🛠 Technical

• Internal procedure structure cleaned up

• Improved separation between core effects and delivery forms

• Various minor logic adjustments and stability improvements

🧠 Notes

• This version is part of an ongoing development process and is not a final or balanced release

• Feedback is welcome, especially regarding:

  • Touch balance

  • Drain interactions

  • Mana economy pacing
