Content Changes
Necroforager Redesign
Was: Whenever you sacrifice a minion, a minion one level higher to the shop.
Now: Recycling triggers summon abilities. Summoning triggers recycle abilities.
Embrace the cycle of life and undeath with this rework to the necroforager. I wanted to preserve her interaction with recycling minions, but take her in a direction when she feels like she has unique builds accessible only to her. There are a lot of minions and spells that pop off when you get to double dip summoning and recycling. Grow-tastic!
Buildings
Buildings have been redesigned, and there's now 21 different building rewards in the game. I won't list them all here, but go check em out in game!
New Spells
I've added 8 new Level 4 spells, 6 new Level 5 spells , and one new level 2 spell.

Deathcycle, Overmind, and Dark Syzygy are now Relics rewards obtained after the Crypt. Their art and name will change in a future build.

Organ Grinder
Your first recycle fully refunds. (formerly of 'Fungal Garden')
Mirror Advisor
Double your support abilities.(formerly of 'Apprentice's Quarters')
Rituals Removed
Rituals have been removed. I wasn't happy with their impact on the game (costing skulls in the last few turns, forgetting to activate, etc).
Surviving the Siege now gives a choice of 3 more buildings, rather than a choice of 3 rituals.
Reaching Collection Level 3 with a necromancer unlocks their signature level 5 spell, instead of their signature ritual.
Gameplay Changes
The 'lost combat' Heart loss experimental change that was on beta has been reverted. Players are now back to losing hearts equal to the remaining enemies.
