A new version of Magic Research 2, version 1.5.1, is now out for everyone. This version introduces a small bit of new content: a new enemy that lets you measure DPS, and a new Storyline to go with it. There are changes to some of the icons and colors, a convenience feature to auto-combine all items, many bug fixes, and a few more things.
Full patch notes below.
