SensoryAbyss

⭐ New

The Ability Wheel Hold C to open a radial menu of your class's abilities, point, and release. It shows everything your class can do with live cooldowns. In Controls you can set it to fire on release or select then fire, and you can keep walking while it's open. The old direct ability keys (Primary / Secondary / Ultimate / Slots 1–3 / Transcendence / Resonant Dash) are now unbound by default — the wheel replaces them — but you can re-bind any of them if you prefer dedicated keys.

Become The Shattered — the Convergence Ritual A new sixth class change ritual. Where each base ritual gives up one sense, the Convergence gives up all five at once to make you The Shattered. Same five pedestals, but the chalk is every color at 5 (5 Sightmark + 5 Echomark + 5 Scentmark + 5 Voidmark + 5 Bloodmark). Channels for about a minute — the longest class change.

The Shattered drafts its whole kit The Shattered no longer has fixed sense-combination perks. At L3/5/9/13/16 you draft two abilities at a time into a six-slot loadout — including your ultimate at L13, which is now a pick-2-of-4 draft instead of a fixed grant.

Free respec after big updates Run /sa respec to re-do your level-up choices without a full class reset — it keeps your class, subclass, level, XP, and everything you've absorbed. You get one free respec per major update (not bugfix patches), and a chat line tells you when it's available on your first login after updating.

Modpack & server support Server owners can now slot modded mobs, blocks, and items into the affliction systems without code — datapack JSON for The Unfed's essence pools and The Numb's materials, config for The Deafened's sound categories and Item Mastery. See MODDED_CONTENT_CONFIG.md.

⚖️ Balance

• The Blinded — Light and Dark stat pools trimmed roughly 20–25% per pick, and passive Health Regen cut further, so a long-played character no longer snowballs out of control. (The journal's listed values are updated to match.)
• The Shattered now correctly receives its Blinded affliction's Light/Dark stat pools and health regen — these were previously being dropped.
• The Numb — Clumsy Hands — a single heavy blow (50%+ of your max health in one hit) now reliably knocks your held item loose. Ordinary chip damage no longer fumbles it.
• Sensory fuel plants (Redroot, Emberroot, Blightroot, Ashblossom) now slowly spread to nearby soil on their own — a small starter patch grows into a renewable supply. (No seeds or bonemeal.)
• Sensory distortion zones — corruption now builds steadily over minutes rather than spiking, so a zone is a hazard you leave, not an instant wipe. Gravity Fault lifts you in pulses (with gaps to escape) and its Slowness is capped, instead of pinning you in place.
• Blinded echo-vision — the white reveal is toned down; players found it too bright.
• Accessories & charms — several descriptions corrected to match what they actually do: Echo Pendant outlines nearby hostiles, Plague Collar inflicts Poison on hit (plus immunity), Void Locket reduces spell cooldowns, and Charm of Tremors / Charm of Endurance reworded.

🔧 Quality of Life

• Grimoire crafting is no longer locked to your affliction — any class (including classless and The Shattered) can craft a grimoire. As always, any class can learn any spell.
• Ability bar HUD slimmed now that abilities fire from the wheel; the vanilla XP bar is back on the modded HUD skin.
• /sa set now accepts shattered.
• Journal updated throughout — new Spell Mastery page, Ability Wheel keybinds, the Convergence ritual, the respec, plant renewal, and corrected Blinded stat values.

🐛 Fixes

• Death Remnant recall now works across long distances and unloaded chunks — your statue is no longer reported missing when it's far away.
• Class & sense progress now survives disabling and re-enabling the mod; it's recovered from a backup on your next login.
• Spell mastery no longer resets when you die.
• The Shattered's L13 ultimate draft now actually opens (it was being skipped).
