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)
- Balancing
- Goru has a max soul limit (similar to max mana) that can be upgraded via runes

- Multicasting capture soul increases health threshold (Thanks Bug Jones!)
- Prevent Bolt radius from growing on it's own when stacking bolt (Radius will still increase with the Plus Radius Spell) - (Sorry speedrunners, it had to happen)
- Nerf Curse Immunity Champion Modifier. It now causes the holder to heal depending on how many curses they have on them rather than purify curses which previously completely eliminated curse-builds as an option
