The Void Crest

• Automatically unlocked (for now)
• Darkens the world around You (Literally) (Can be turned off in configurations if it makes it too hard to see)

Binding

• Binding with Void Crest will no longer heal You
• You are Invincible while binding
• Being hit while binding will now deal retaliation damage back against the enemy scaling off Your needle's damage
  • (Retaliation Damage = Needle Damage * 2, Doesn't generate silk on hit)
• Every time You deal retaliation damage while binding, Gain 1 Voidmass

Voidmass

• Has a black spool below the silk spool to keep count of it, goes up to a max of 10
• Every time You use a Silk Skill with at least 1 Voidmass; consume 1 Voidmass to voidify and double the damage of Your Silk Skill
• Pressing Bind + Up will consume ALL Your Voidmass to unleash a powerful attack that scales in strength based off Voidmass consumed
• After executing the Bind + Up attack, heal masks equal to half of the Voidmass consumed (Rounded down)
• Resting at a bench sets Voidmass to 0 (for obvious reasons)

Void Slots

• This crest has only Void Slots, a Void Slot can take any tool regardless of it's color
  • Notes: When using tools that need to be triggered by a binding (I.e, red tools) it can not hold more than 1 tool per binding slot

Moveset

• Currently just witch's moveset, but without a typical Dash Attack
• Instead of a Dash Attack, You can now dash through enemies to deal damage to them without taking damage Yourself, scales off Needle Damage
  • (Dash Damage = Needle Damage * 0.5, Doesn't generate silk on hit)

Unique Tool Synergies

• Injector band

  • This nerfs the bind by making binding last shorter
  • To compensate, You gain 1 additional Voidmass when hit while binding
  • Also increases the binding retaliation damage by 50%
    • (Additive, making it 250% of nail damage, not 300%)

• Multibinder

  • Now no longers makes You bind twice
  • Whenever You deal damage from either dashing through an enemy or binding retaliation, It generates silk like normal needle attacks do
  • Also increases the binding retaliation damage by 50%
    • (Additive, making it 250% of nail damage, not 300%)

• Warding Bell

  • Now is fully useless due to You ignoring damage from binding anyways
  • So it just gives another +100% binding retaliation damage

• Silkspeed Anklets

  • Now also increase dash damage by 50%
    • (Additive, making it 100% of nail damage, not 75%)

• Weighted Belt

  • Now also increase dash damage by 75%
    • (Additive, making it 125% of nail damage)

• Plasmium Phial

  • Now no longer grants blue masks, but instead gives You 1 voidmass when You use it

Configuration

• After booting the game up once with this mod loaded, if you go to gamefolder/BepInEx/config and open io.dervorce.voidcrest.cfg, you will find many configurations, including changing nearly all the numbers mentioned here, and even changing the base crest

P.S. you can turn off the darkness aura in the configuration and also turn off the darkness shader on hornet's character if it's too annoying!!
