Hi everyone,
We're back with another update :) Two new spells and global Mortis Mastery Level ranking!
New Spell: Blood Lance (+ 7 Synergies)
A crimson lance hurled at the nearest enemy. Instead of firing volleys like Bone Spear, it pierces straight through targets - the more you upgrade it, the deeper it drills through hordes.
Animated projectile with a blood drip trail
7 synergies across Blood Magic, Soul Magic and Curses
Bone Armor synergy - each active orb grants an extra level of pierce
New Spell: Hemobolt (+ 7 Synergies)
A heavy blood clot hurled slowly at a random enemy. On impact it bursts like living tissue, spawning smaller bolts that fly out to other enemies nearby - a true clot cascade. Works on walls too - crashing into the environment still detonates the burst.
Base 5 child bolts per burst (upgradeable to 7+)
Shatter effect on impact - same sprite fragmentation used by dying enemies
Animated pulsing projectiles with blood drip trail and 3 dedicated sound effects
Bone Armor synergy adds extra child bolts
Elemental synergies (Soul Burn / Hemorrhage / Weaken / Slow / Terror / Confusion) add +1 child bolt each and apply their status on hit
Beginner's Fate Expansion
The random spell pool has been expanded to 9 - Blood Lance and Hemobolt are now possible rolls from the start.
