LEARN BY CASTING (v1.6) - LIVE FOR SUPPORTERS

• Major Feature: Learn By Casting!

(ℹ️ Cast Spells and perform Sorceries to learn and level up Sorcery, Fire, Ice and Lightning! All of these now start at 1 and increase to 100. Skill Elixirs also increase Elements but is no longer craftable without a special Grimoire. This will slow Sorcery progression in a fun and rewarding way... simply Learn By Casting!)

• Added: Harvest Wand 

(ℹ️ Magically harvest resources: Earth, Stone, Wood, Ore. Though fast and effective, using the Harvest Wand temporarily fatigues its wielder.)

• Added: New Quests❕

• Added: New POIs by Sorcerer NotARobot 🛖

• Added: Official Sorcery Pregen Map by Sorcerer Krunch 🗺️ 

• Added: Cure Infection Potion

• Added: Major Essence Potion

• Added: Cure Infection Potion (cure all stages of infection while heavily resisting further infection for 5 minutes) 

• Added: Major Essence Potion (gain +150% to Fire, Ice, Lightning Essence Find; increases with Alchemy Mastery)

• Added: Holy + Unholy potion model and FX.

• Added: Unique potion labels for Mending, Holy Water, Lifeforce, Energy.

• Added: Each Mastery Perk UI now contains live stat data for clearer understanding of their effects.

(ℹ️ Previously, our Custom Terrain C# code was "hardcoded" to the AppData directory. This is no longer the case. This once again allows Sorcery to easily be ran alongside other Mods and enables easy Server detection.)

• Changed: Extracts, Powders, Threads craft x5 faster, in stacks of x5, at their respective station.

• Changed: Spell Bolt / Arrow conversion recipes x10 faster crafting.

• Fixed: Potions were craftable without holding the Mortar & Pestle.

• Fixed: Various minor fixes.

• Installer: The Sorcery Installer will be available at Public Launch, along with fixes and custom directory choosing.

• Mod Launcher: Sorcery will once again become available through Sphere's Mod Launcher at Public Launch.

• ...AND A LOT MORE: This update is too massive to include everything! See for full details!

⏳ PUBLIC RELEASE: February TBD. 

❌ NEW SAVE: New Sorcery Save required due to massive additions and changes. 

🐢 SLOW DEVELOPMENT: We are currently in "slow development" due to support for Sorcery dropping drastically since August. When Sorcery support drops this drastically, I have less time to focus on developing Sorcery as I turn my focus on catching up in RL.

❔ INSTRUCTIONS: 

1.) Download "ManualInstall-SorceryMod_v16-SupporterPriority zip"

2.) Right-Click > Extract All (ManualInstall-SorceryMod_v16-SupporterPriority zip)

⚠️ WARNING: If you previously installed Sorcery through the Installer then you should Uninstall Sorcery PRIOR to installing this version. The same applies to any previous versions of Sorcery, always remove the old version before placing the new version.
