Xaelion Additions 2.7.0-beta.5: Evolution at a goddess's scale

Stage 2 finishes. Every Chapter II page keeps its idea, now bigger, and each opens with her divine cast (added in
beta.4).

The Evolutionary Tree

• Her tree of life is now about 70 blocks tall (it was about 8), standing about 14 blocks behind her on its own
  seal.
• It grows branch by branch over about 2.5 seconds, a rune turning at every fork and a star at every tip. Its crown
  flares, and pulses of sap-light run from its root out to every tip while it stands.
• Her creatures within 64 blocks ascend (it was 40), each joined by a line of gold from the tree's crown.

The Cambrian Bloom

• Its primordial sea now covers 50 blocks round the spot (it was 7), and it follows the land's hills instead of lying
  flat. It opens slowly and lasts 15 seconds.
• In it: about 150 kelp swaying, drifting shells, ripples, and 16 shafts of light falling into the water. Its rim is
  written in glyphs.
• Foes in it wade slowed and are worn down every second. Allies in it are mended.
• What surfaces: an Anomalocaris 1.6 times its old size, and eight trilobites (it was five).

Fossil Awakening

• The ground really breaks:
  • Six cracks tear out from the spot, up to about 30 blocks long, up to about 5 deep and 1–2 wide, amber light burning
    in them and dust bursting from them as they open.
  • Foes over a crack as it opens are struck for 6 and thrown up.
• A giant's bones: the earth over it falls away into an excavated pit about 42 by 16 blocks, and the skeleton lies
  bared in it, about 43 blocks long. Its arched spine, a cage of ribs rising out of the pit, its skull with its jaw
  hanging, its tail running down into the earth and its limb bones are all made of real bone blocks. They light up from
  the head back.
• Then the tyrant climbs out of the pit (1.5 times its old size) in a pillar of amber light, with five raptors (it
  was three).
• Everything is given back later: the cracks close, the pit fills and the bones return to earth.
• What she won't carve: anything except natural rock and earth. That means nothing beside water or lava, a block
  entity or sand and gravel that could fall in, and nothing in claimed land.
• With world changes off, the page plays as before.

The Adaptive Bloom

• Nine giant flowers (2.5 times their old size, it was seven) open in a ring 9 blocks round (it was 3.6).

The Chrysalis Doctrine

• The scale-storm she bursts out with now spans 20 blocks (it was 8). The storms that follow strike foes and mend
  allies within 14 (it was 7).

The Great Divergence

• Its domain now reaches 60 blocks (it was 24): its dome, its floor, everything in it, and its effects on foes and
  allies. It stays inside its own sky, which is unchanged.

The Origin of All Things (Chapter I's ultimate)

• Its domain now reaches 52 blocks (it was 30), inside its horizon of great trees. Its bloom already reached 120 in
  beta.4.

Her champions

• The Paragon (The Perfect Organism), the Apex (Apex Predator) and the Missing Link now stand 1.5 times their old size.
  Their bodies, reach and light all grow with them.

Notes

• Tested offline only. 914 checks pass. The tree of life, the Cambrian sea, the cracks and the fossil were rendered
  offline (the preview's ground is flat, so the pit itself doesn't show there). None of this has been tested in-game yet.
• Worth watching in-game:
  • Whether the bigger creatures (Anomalocaris, tyrant, champions, giant flowers) fit and find their way in tight places.
  • That the cracks and pit close cleanly when they're given back.
• ⚠ Flashback: no new packet types. The fossil bed travels in the existing effect packet as a new kind (166), and
  creature sizes use the game's own size attribute. Recordings from earlier betas replay. Recordings made with this
  version need this version.
