- Added five godrunes, the strongest power in the mod: Destruction, God Step, Aroa's Requiem, Realmheart, King's Gambit
- Destruction's flame burns anything and spreads on to a set measure; only its caster can call it back (sneak and press Destruction)

- Fixed a format error on the character sheet for Black-core Alacryans

- Changed rocavids, wogarts, blood oxen and maw-bears to live only in Alacrya
- Fixed the Elderwood Guardian's advancement never being awarded
- Fixed two-block and jump steps on paths in Grandus Hold, Sylvia's Cave and the towns; outdoor steps are real stairs
- Meditation (M): sit cross-legged for triple regeneration, growing capacity and steady core refinement that slows as the core advances
- Mana Rotation, taught only by Sylvia in Sylvia's Cave: half again the regeneration, flowing while you move and cast
- Mana capacity grows as you spend it (up to +10% at Black, +35% at White)
- Mana Backlash: draining yourself dry leaves you weak and exhausted, and forcing magic through it hurts
- Character screen (I): race, class, core colour and stage, mana, regeneration, capacity, meditation and Mana Rotation
- Body Augmentation and Iron Skin can be held through a fight; Body Augmentation has a Strength slider
- Mana-arts key (B): tap for Body Augmentation, hold for Iron Skin
- Body Augmentation's extra hearts fill and regrow from mana, shown as mana flowing out from the core
- Iron Skin is a faint white film; Mana-Infused Strike wraps your weapon or fist in mana
- Added an Iron Skin indicator: its damage reduction in percent on the effect icon and in the inventory
- Burst Step is a real dash (about 6-10 blocks at Red, up to 40 at White)
- Blade Shroud only cuts with your own swings; Flash Strike rebalanced; Overdrive is asura only
- Burst Strike costs half and hits half again as hard; Mirage Walk hides armour, held items and effects
- Grown asura hold 400,000 mana (dragons 600,000)
- Changing race or path updates your mana pool at once
- Your respawn point follows your upbringing: leaving the Alacryan path stops you waking in Alacrya; joining it by command wakes you in Maerin
- Spell power drives size, blast, knockback, sound and screen shake; strong spells blast element-shaped craters (config spellsBreakTerrain)
- Spells and hard landings no longer damage TBATEC's structures, or blast ground when cast from inside one; the Destruction godrune is the one exception (config spellsSpareStructures)
- Casting poses in first and third person: bolts thrust, beams channel with both hands, cones push, slams, meteors and summons raise the arms
- Smaller trails, new wind and water looks; spent projectiles arc down or fade out; only gravity spells warp space
- Default spell names follow the spell when you change it
- Mending heals its caster only a quarter; Sanctuary and Fate Seal removed (saved ones convert)
- Remote Viewing: a new diviner art that sends your sight up to 96 blocks away
- Hover: the flight key (O) switches between gliding and a slow drifting hover; O also takes off from water
- Calm landings are harmless; very hard ones hurt a little and crack or crater the ground
- Riders sit properly on grown dragons and beasts
- Gates open a walk-through portal; gate sickness eases for frequent travellers; fixed gate lag, lost chunks and stuck saves
- Asura wake and respawn on their own clan's ground in Epheotus
- Castle Indrath is guarded by an Indrath ward; an Invitation of Indrath from the Indrath Steward lets others in
- Aether pressure in the deep below the castle; the castle grounds can't be broken; living grass in the Cerulean Savanna
- Dicathen's towns are full of townsfolk, guards, adventurers and mercenaries
- The Elshire mist stays out of cities and halls; Zestier and the Elven Tree Hall have living walls
- Construction pass on settlements: doors, windows, stairs, floating blocks, faction flags, lanterns instead of glowing orbs
- The djinn sanctuary is hidden, found with Virion's Map, guarded by an aether ward and home to refugees
- The flying castle always floats high above the ground
- Every barrel, chest and pot in structures holds loot fitting its room
- Weapons no longer cast spells on right click, except the Mana Launcher and the Rune Cannon; the Aether Blade is slimmer
- The Elderwood Guardian is reworked into a corrupted tree-centaur of vine and bark
- Many fixes and changes.
