⚠️ Important Update Notice

If your playthrough with this mod is already in progress, please read the information below and consider delaying the update if necessary.

This update is a major rework of the mod.

• Some stats and overall progression logic have been changed
• Several early/mid-game weapons and armor sets have been moved to later biomes
• Some weapons have been removed from the game or merged into other weapons

This may result in the loss of certain equipment or cause players to receive gear that no longer matches their current progression stage.

Please take this into account before updating to this version.

🔮 New Content

🎨 Visual Rework

Many magical weapons and armor sets have been visually updated to improve their quality, identity, and overall presence across the entire progression.

The following sets have been fully redesigned with new models:

• Lightcaller
• Windcaller
• Stormcaller

The following sets have also received smaller visual refinements:

• Totemcaller
• Deathcaller
• Frostcaller
• Firecaller

🧩 Full Set System

Full set bonuses now require all 4 armor pieces — Head, Chest, Legs, and Cape.

Completing a full set grants access to a unique mechanic available only while wearing that specific set, giving each armor line its own distinct identity and playstyle.

This makes every full set feel like a complete magical path rather than just a collection of individual bonuses.

⚙️ Hybrid Builds

For players who choose not to wear a full set, armor pieces from different biomes use different stat placement and, in some cases, different stat types, allowing more flexible build combinations.

Capes also continue to carry unique bonuses, adding even more room for custom builds and personal playstyles.

This makes it possible to focus on specific stats and create specialized setups by combining pieces from different armor lines.

🔮 Staff Rework

All magical staffs now feature a secondary attack, giving each weapon more depth and a stronger individual role in combat.

This was achieved by merging certain staffs into more complete weapons and by adding entirely new secondary abilities to existing ones.

Each magical weapon now offers more identity, more utility, and more meaningful crafting value.

🌍 Biome Progression

Biome progression has been restructured so that each armor set is now crafted within its own biome and designed to perform naturally within that stage of progression.

The biome of the following sets has been changed:

• Lightcaller — from Black Forest to Mistlands
• Windcaller — from Mountain to Mistlands
• Stormcaller — from Mistlands to Ashlands
• Bloodcaller — from Mistlands to Ashlands

This creates clearer goals, smoother progression, and a stronger sense of reward as players advance from one biome to the next — including proper endgame progression in Ashlands.

✨ Inspiration System

A new system called Inspiration adds a special resource in the form of Inspiration Points, used to cast powerful spells and abilities.

Inspiration builds slowly over time, allowing players to prepare for stronger magical spells.

Access to the Inspiration system is provided through magical Tomes — a separate equipment slot that does not replace your main gear. While equipped, Tomes enable Inspiration and can increase its generation rate or expand the maximum number of Inspiration Points available, alongside bonuses from certain armor sets and accessories.

This system creates smoother balance for magic progression, making powerful abilities feel more valuable and encouraging better timing and stronger decision-making in combat.

🧪 Buff System Changes

The number of active buffs from this mod is now limited.

This includes staff-applied effects such as stat bonuses, damage auras, and shields.

• A maximum of 2 buffs can be active at the same time
• Only 1 shield can be active at a time (including the shield from Staff of Protection)

Casting a new buff will replace the oldest active one if the limit is reached.
Casting a new shield will always replace the currently active shield.

This encourages a more careful approach when selecting active buffs, letting you define your playstyle through the effects you keep active.

🍄 New Armor Sets

Two new magical armor sets have been added to expand progression and build variety:

• Mushroomcaller (Black Forest) — a set focused on placing magical mushrooms that assist the player across the journey
• Stonecaller (Plains) — a defensive set built around stone magic, protection, and blunt damage

Alongside it stands the Essence Cauldron, where magical meals and potent elixirs are prepared.

🧿 Spirits & Magical Materials

All magical equipment is crafted using rare magical materials and Spirits - elemental orbs infused with magical essence.
Each armor set is bound to its own Spirit, which drops from enemies within its respective biome.
Stronger creatures have a higher chance to drop Spirits.

🕯️ Decor Elements

The mod also provides a set of decorative pieces that let you personalize your magical base.

🦝 Encounter

Meet Riko — your fluffy little helper.
From time to time, during your long journeys, Riko may suddenly appear by your side to leave a small gift and brighten your path.

He can be encountered in all biomes, starting from the Black Forest, often appearing where you least expect him. Once the gifts are in your hands, Riko quickly disappears — perhaps to return again someday with new surprises.
