Spells & Spellcrafting 2.11.36 → 2.11.75 Changelog

🆕 New spells / effect types

• Enlarge Self (L0 cantrip) + Enlarge Target (L3) — first custom MobEffect (spells_and_spellcrafting:enlarged). Stacking SCALE + JUMP + MOVEMENT_SPEED + DAMAGE riders, discrete STEP_HEIGHT, dismissible at any amplifier
• Cloud Kill reworked from single AoE burst → POISON_CLOUD effect type — 8s lingering green vapor cloud with stacking POISON amplifier (I → IV over 8s exposure)
• Ice Storm reworked from ballistic ice-ball → STORM_STRIKE effect type — 1-second sky-fall blizzard with vanilla snowballs raining + mid-storm freeze burst

⚔️ Spell-delivery overhaul (Plan 12 series)

• Fireball → true ballistic projectile (was instant AoE) — fire_charge billboard, arcs with gravity, explodes in 4-block radius on impact, caster excluded from own AoE
• Lightning Bolt → instant flash at look-target (max 24 blocks) via vanilla LightningBolt entity — no terrain fire, no double damage
• Ray of Frost + Vampiric Touch → instant line-of-sight beams (snowflake / damage-indicator particles, freeze + drain riders)
• Scorching Ray renamed to Scorching Bolt (matches single-bolt mechanic), now shows as flaming arrow billboard, finally actually sets targets on fire (missing flag fixed)
• Magic Missile → white-hot wisp visual (snowball billboard + sparkle trail)
• Chain Lightning — first hop now lands as vanilla LightningBolt (familiar flash + thunder), bounces visualized as jittered ELECTRIC_SPARK arcs
• Cone of Cold — visual now matches the existing 60° hit-detection cone (snowflakes spreading forward from caster, glass-break sound)

✨ Visual / particle polish

• Custom short-lifetime particles (short_flame, short_end_rod) — projectile trails fade ~75-85% faster than vanilla counterparts, no more lingering particle lines
• Per-projectile visual_style codec field + custom SpellProjectileRenderer — spells can opt into item-billboard visuals (fireball / magic_missile / fire_arrow)
• Vampiric Touch heart cascade — drain feedback hearts spawn at chest height + 2-3b in front, no longer rising into caster's face
• Mage Hand HUD-02 row dimmed + 8x8 lock-sprite when active
• Suppress vanilla MobEffect particles for caster-self buffs (no more obscuring particle spam)
• Red flash overlay on dismissed buff rows

🪄 Wand QOL

• Offhand wand casting (Phase 26) — wand in offhand fully cast-capable when mainhand is non-wand; HUD + radial + recast all hand-agnostic
• Sneak + RC bypass — sneak now restores vanilla chest-open + ZV Soul Well/Gate travel without casting
• Ghost Tear imbuement (ghostly flag) — wand swings through entities without melee hit; spell-cast still fires
• Crying Obsidian imbuement (soulBound flag) — wand retained across death via copy-on-death attachment
• Tooltip indicators for Phased + Soul Bound imbuements
• Wand phasing fix — recast hook + WandPhasingHandler at LOWEST priority so spells fire against un-cancelled events at walls/entities

🖥️ UI Foundation refactor (v1.8 milestone)

• New SsHudOverlay static utility (shared color/font/anchor/hit-test helpers)
• New SsContainerScreen<M> abstract base (bevel/slot/denial helpers)
• All 4 HUD overlays migrated: CooldownOverlay, BuffTimerOverlay, RadialMenuOverlay, MinionHudOverlay
• All 3 menu screens migrated: ReagentPouchScreen, RepairScreen, BreakEnchantmentScreen
• Word-wrap for long radial spell names; nameScale bumped 0.50f → 0.65f for legibility
• drawHoverDenial overlay wired into Repair + BreakEnchant screens

👆 Click-to-dismiss SS buffs (Phase 29)

• Shift + left-click on a HUD-02 buff row → dismiss the effect server-side
• DismissBuffPacket C2S with 7-gate validator (gold-standard pattern, mirrors RepairSelectionPacket)
• SsBuffSignatures moved to spell/buff/, gained bidirectional 1-to-N SPELL_TO_EFFECTS map
• AntiGravityExpiryListener + MirrorImageExpiryListener for LEVITATION / INVISIBILITY early-Remove paths
• Dismiss animation (slide-right + fade + red flash overlay)
• Works while inventory is open (ScreenEvent.MouseButtonPressed.Pre routing)

🧪 Reagent Pouch — Curios integration (Phase 24/25)

• CuriosLabelBridge hybrid resolver — works whether Curios is installed or not
• ModList-gated dispatch in ReagentScanner for compatibility safety
• Typed slot labels in tooltips; orphan isInCuriosSlot purged in Phase 25 cleanup

🧙 Minion / spell behavior corrections (v1.7.4 audit blitz — 16 fixes)

• 3 security fixes — MultiJumpPacket infinite-jet exploit, WorkAreaPacket OOM exploit, handleCastSpell allowBulkCast bypass
• FriendlyFireHandler now protects all IOwnedEntity summons (no more own-minion damage from spells)
• Magic Missile / Chain Lightning / DebuffEffect / KnockbackEffect all filter own minions + ZV villagers (no wasted projectiles/hops on FF-protected targets)
• SummonEffect cap re-check + Risen-line whitelist
• MobDeathHandler Risen* whitelist hotfix (v1.7.2)
• SoulWellHelper / WorkAssignment / MinionToolLoadout null-safety + bounds-checks
• Various smaller corrections (RisenSkeleton goal priority, RisenZombie arrow conversion attributes, UtilityEffect log spam cleanup)

🛡️ Session-40 audit sweep (DRIFT + HAZARD)

• MultiJumpPacket wire-format docs + 5-gate validator clarifications (DismissBuffPacket + FlyThrustPacket)
• AntiGravityExpiryListener grace-window race guard
• Mage Hand tick driven from LevelTickEvent (not PlayerTickEvent)
• HudClientData.multiSnapshot returns deep-copy immutable
• BuffTimerOverlay cross-thread state made thread-safe

♻️ Misc

• Mage Hand now vacuums XP orbs in addition to items
• Mirror Image dismiss properly fires removeEffect(INVISIBILITY) (was missing from registry)
• WandData MaterialTier + GemState stream codecs use string names (not ordinal — safe across enum reorders)
• WorkAssignment.WorkType uses string-name NBT codec
• SoulGemItem store/cull paths gated through SsMinionRegistry
• Homing target re-acquisition throttled to every 5 ticks (perf)
• brown_mushroom added to reagent allowlist (26 → 27 type-locked slots)
• Stale orphan ss_buff_icon.png removed from typoed namespace dir
• Localhost auto-connect dev shortcut removed
