RELEASE 5.0 Change log

Additions and Improvements:

– The resource pack has been optimized to take up less space and the French voices have been remixed.
– Improved Dahäl’s spell casting system. Now, each spell has its own launcher with the chosen level indicated. Choosing a spell level in a spell book, automatically gives the « Dahäl » launcher of the spell with the level in the action bar. This new system not only allows you to cast several spells at the same time but also takes up 1 less inventory space in the action bar and saves time by no longer needing to interchange with spell books and the basic Dahäl caster.
– Added a new challenge consisting of 7 labyrinths in a dimension accessible in exchange of runic powders from the city of « Kortaek ». Littered with enemies and chests with increased rune drop rates, a score is calculated to give increased rewards to the player who reaches the end of each trial.

– Sword: A counterattack after blocking, dealing more damage based on the opponent’s strength and the number of consecutive hits.
– Hammer: A circular area effect on each hit after a jump, dealing damage equal to the player’s current damage total.
