- Bestiary uses icons instead of text to show stats.
- Removed the "Leviathan's Body" bestiary entry.
- Fixed Gargoyles only being able to hit the player once bruh.
- Increased the absolute enemy limit to 40, but the old limit of 20 still applies to spawn waves and hallucinations.
- Changed the recipes for Deflect, Ice Barrier, Mirror and Chaos Pistol.
- Added conditions to Void, Ice Barrier and Refresh so they can't waste a spell cooldown in situations where they wouldn't do anything.
- Removed hidden status effects, such as the ones used by passive items, from the Genesis Crown menu.
