It was already pretty strong but this was too strong. Fixed that so it worked as intended. Also aligned the health...

I've added sounds in to (hopefully) every effect. I'm not sure how happy I'll be with them but they are in...

Small changes to HUSK which might help it be a viable pick. Slight change to FECT but not sure it's going to help much. At least it will do more after the early game. NOCK still rei...

I've added a lot of visual effects and some new powers. They were all doozies. Every time I think I'm getting a handle on the system to anima...

Power no longer tied to colour. A couple of new ones in. More to add. Push didn’t make it back in but it will. Game is moving closer to where I wanted it to be with som...
