📜 Update Log: Roots & Mysteries

This update brings balance between life and magic. We are introducing a brand new Origin focused on survival and support, alongside a Complete Rework of the Children of Hecate mechanics and critical bug fixes.

🌿 NEW ORIGIN: Children of Demeter

Connection to the earth, seasons, and healing.

• Impact: 🟡 Medium

"Born from the lineage of the Goddess of Agriculture, your soul is deeply entwined with the pulse of the Earth. You flourish under the sun, but the life of a gardener is tied to the seasons."

• [Passive] Seasons' Knowledge: A unique biome mechanic.

  • Spring/Summer: In temperate and warm biomes (Forests, Plains, Jungles), you gain constant Regeneration if you are well-fed.

  • Winter: In cold biomes (Snow, Ice, Peaks), the goddess's sorrow affects you, causing Slowness.

• [Passive] Green Thumb: You have a natural affinity for crops and nature.

• [Weakness] Fire Vulnerability: Plants burn. You take extra fire damage.

🔮 REWORK: Children of Hecate

Arcane Magic, Mist Control, and Lunar Power.

• Impact: 🔴 High

The Children of Hecate have been completely overhauled to offer a true "Glass Cannon Mage" experience (High Damage, Low Health).

• ✨ New Visuals: Themed witchcraft particles and immersive sounds for all abilities.

• [Active] Arcane Bolt (Rework):

  • Now a Hitscan spell (instant damage via Raycast), removing the need for physical projectiles.

  • Day/Night Mechanic: Deals 5 Hearts of damage during the day and a massive 8 Hearts at night.

• [Passive] Mist Walker (QoL Update):

  • Your aura now emits real Light Level 15.

  • Smart Lighting: The light no longer breaks grass, flowers, or crops (it automatically shifts to the player's head if the feet are obstructed).

  • Immersion: The light automatically fades when submerged in water.

• [Passive] Night's Blessing:

  • During the night, you gain increased Movement Speed and your spells recharge 2x faster.

• [Active] Arcane Shield (New):

  • Replaced simple invisibility. Now conjures a barrier that grants Resistance II and Absorption II (Extra Hearts) to tank fatal hits.

• [Weakness] Solar Fatigue (Rebalance):

  • Removed the physical damage debuff. Now, during the day, you suffer from Mining Fatigue, simulating the weight and exhaustion of a mage under the harsh sun.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Origin Selection: Fixed a critical bug where the Son of Demeter Origin was not appearing in the selection layer/menu. It is now properly selectable for all players.

⚡ What's Next?

The skies are darkening and the ground is trembling... The Big Three are almost complete.

• Coming Soon: Hades & Zeus.
