Hello spellcasters!

When I was planning for this I thought it was going to be a "medium" update but I just kept adding more and more and so here we are!

Major Features

Handmade maps!
After level 6 there is a chance that the maps will be chosen from a pool of handmade maps. These tend to be more interesting than the standard randomly generated ones. And... they're moddable! So modders can make their own. Here's a tutorial on how to make your own handmade maps

Maladies!
Maladies are runes that provide a negative effect but grant you additional Skill Points in return. They will be a great way to push deeper into Rune synergies while also making Spellmaons more difficult for seasoned players!

Gripthulu Returns!! Long awaited and often asked for - the fan favorite Gripthulu is back!

Desktop Pet

About a year ago a Discord user (shout out to Tea Demon), made the game small in windowed mode so he could chill with a Spellmason on his desktop. This led me to have the idea to create an official desktop pet as a cosmetic-only DLC! It's a fun way to have spellmasons's characters chill with you and also a great way to support development of Spellmasons and it's only $3 :)

You can find the Spellmasons Desktop Pet here: Spellmasons Desktop Pet

And if you want to support my work even more you can become a Patreon Member and get access to an exclusive Channel in the discord as well as early access to development builds!

    - Familiars!

    - Goru-specific runes

        - Increase starting Souls

        - Increase max souls

    - Added "Runic" rarity for Spells that are only obtainable through runes

    - After level 5 some units will have a Bounty even if there are no bounty hunters (Thanks Weedybird)
