Descension: Manifestation

This update expands on the systems introduced in the Descension Update, completing unfinished mechanics and introducing a new progression path centered around transformation and structure.

Intensified Anchor

• Added the Intensified Anchor, a powerful new block
• Cannot be crafted directly
• Must be obtained through a dedicated ritual process
• Acts as a major progression milestone tied to fragrance mechanics

Ritual System

• Introduced a complete ritual mechanic used to transform an Anchor into an Intensified Anchor
• Requires:
  • A Soul Fire structure
  • A specific combination of Fragrance blocks
• The ritual progresses over time in multiple phases
• The structure is gradually consumed during the process
• Nearby entities are affected, making the ritual dangerous to approach
• On completion, the Anchor is permanently transformed into the Intensified Anchor

Ponder Guide

• Added a new Ponder scene explaining how to perform the ritual
• Provides a clear, step-by-step visual guide for setup and activation
• Designed to help players understand the system without external documentation

Anchor

• Added the Anchor block
• Crafted as a base component for the ritual
• Used exclusively to initiate the transformation into an Intensified Anchor

Fragrance Fixes

• Added missing loot tables for:
  • Bastion Fragrance
  • Cinder Fragrance
  • Malice Fragrance
• Fragrance blocks now drop correctly in survival

Configurable Settings

• Added new options accessible through the Create mod config menu:
  • Ritual duration (controls how long the ritual takes)
  • Particle intensity (adjusts visual effects for better performance)

General Improvements

• Improved integration between fragrance mechanics and progression systems
• Adjusted validation to ensure ritual setups behave correctly

Notes

• An advancement for the Intensified Anchor will be added in a future update
• Some planned features remain postponed for later versions
