Hello friends!

Today I have some very cool stuff to present to you! first of we have two BRAND NEW spells. We hope they, alongside the other changes we made will spice some things up. Secondly we can finally open up the shop and present you with some unique cosmetic items for sale. Nothing will be removed or changed from the regular treasure chest. Thirdly we have the Collector edition available with even more stuff in it including the soundtrack! I hope you like the additions and changes of this update.

Spell Changes

NEW SPELL: Hydra Blast [AREA Spell] Conjure the head of an arcane hydra flying forward and after a player selected distance explode and launch several smaller projectiles that deals damage and knockbacks. Gains stronger at rank 2 and 3 by increasing the number of projectiles spawned.
NEW SPELL: Orb Of Travel [TRAVEL Spell] The caster transforms into a metal ball gaining immunity and a movement speed boost flying through the battlefield for a short duration.
Energy Shield
- Now shrinks over its duration.
- Now gains duration for each reflected spell at rank 2 and 3.
- Is no longer attached to the player at rank 2 and 3.
- Is no longer rotated towards the cursor at rank 3.
Developer Note: We were not happy with the current state of Energy Shield as it went away from its core mechanic of placing down a wall at rank 2 and 3. So we decided to redesign the level 2 and 3 bonuses to directly buff the wall aspect of the spell.
Chain Hook
- Rank 3 Chain Hook is no longer attached to the ground on retrigger.
- At rank 3 you can now retrigger the Chain Hook to throw away the end that is currently connected to the caster. If this end hits anything both sides will be pulled towards each other.
- Tweaked the Chain Hook to make it easier to sidestep and throw hooked players past you.
Developer Note: Rank 3 Chain Hook was not really that fun to use so we decided to look for a setup that was easier and more interesting of comboing with.
Consuming Void Is now aimed towards the cursor at all ranks Developer Note: Consuming Void was not on par with the other defensive spells so we decided to add this aiming mechanic to make it possible to consume spells from all angles if you are quick enough.
Acid Pool
- Now has the same slightly smaller starting size on all ranks.
- Now grows to a larger size on all ranks.
- Rank 2 and 3 grows significantly larger than before.
Developer Note: We wanted to make acid pools main focus as an area control spell by increasing the final size of the spell while making it harder to just throw it directly underneath someone to deal instant damage.
Proximity Mines
- Now falls down 25% quicker
- Now activates 25% quicker
Frostbolt Rank 3 frostbolt now has a short delay before spawning in its ice trail preventing the caster from being instantly slowed by his own spell.
Lockdown Increased the damage reduction on all ranks by flat 20% making it easier to soak in a barrage of projectiles if needed.

UI Fixes

Transmute Panel
- Fixed issue causing gaps in the Customization Menu where transmuted items still tried to fill out some spots.
- Unequips items that are no longer owned by the player after transmutation.
- You can now only transmute items from the cosmetic lootchest you can only get from playing.
Inventory
- Added a preview button for the Cosmetic Lootchest you sometimes get after playing a game. In this menu you can check out some information about each item and also see how they look equipped.
- Fixed bug causing the inventory to sometimes not load.
Sounds
- Updated several UI sounds in the lobby scene.
- Fixed a few sounds that was not hooked up to the sound sliders.

Cosmetic Shop

We have added in the Cosmetic Shop. We currently have 5 packs of goodies here themed the two opposing factions in the game.

The Order - Gatekeeper
The Order - Seeker
Coven - Rebirth
Coven - Divided
Mega Pack (All Other Packs Combined + bonus staff

Developer Note: We decided to go with cosmetic packs as our monetization model because we felt that removing the random-factor from the money was the best path to take

Game DLC

We added a Collectors Edition to the steam page All players that bought the game during Early Access will automatically get this pack. It contains 2 brand new skins and staffs only available through this DLC as well as the SOUNDTRACK composed by the very talented Maciek Dobrowolski.

A HUGE thank you to everyone for your patience and support! See you in the arena! (Being horribly crushed by Rockbabies)

Spellsworn - Collector's Edition

Spellsworn is an Online Player vs. Player Arena Game. It is a place where wizards and magical creatures use their wits and spells to wage war in an everchanging arena. Prove yourself in the arena and battle with all who dare call themselves your peers. Victory and pride outweighs reason and diplomacy, thus any debate between wizards is indistinguishable from outright warfare. Alliances will be broken, lives will be lost and the world will crumble. Will you remain, towering over the ashes?

Spellsworn is heavily inspired by classic arena games such as DotA, League of Legends, Super Smash Bros. and traditional sumo-wrestling. Most of all however; Spellsworn is inspired by the user-created mod Warlock, made in Warcraft III.

Spells

Each round you, the spellsworn, will recieve some coins to fund your battle. A shop stocked full of spells will serve as your arsenal as you prepare for the next battle round. It's imperative that you choose your spells carefully, as they may be completely countered by your enemy if you're not careful. There's very little grace to be had when standing with your pants down and no way of counterattacking your enemy's barrage of destruction.

Game modes

There's plenty of ways to play Spellsworn. If you enjoy playing in teams and making up sick combos and rediculous plays with friends then maybe 2v2, 3v3 or 2v2v2 is for you. If you're more of a strong independent lonewolf then 1v1 is also fully supported (including all of the FFA variations, i.e 1v1v1v1 and so on). In the future we're hoping to include workshop support for your own scripted gamemodes and playstyles.

Matchmaking and progression

Spellsworn will definitely have a competitive side to it - which means ranked plays and matchmaking is a must. It will likely follow the Elo standard that is used in many established e-sports games today. There will be a leveling system as well which will progress as you complete matches. Stats will be recorded during each session so that you can follow your progression along and track how well you're doing compared to past games.
