Sorcerer Battle Club

alpha1.23

• New spell: Tentacle. Your arm turns into a tentacle (1s) and lashes out up to 12m - whoever it catches is wrapped up and rooted for 2s (can't move or cast), then yanked right up to you. While it holds them you can walk but not cast. A miss just flails and goes back. 20 mana, 20s cooldown. Levels: Lv2 -5 mana, Lv3 -1s cooldown, Lv4 -1s cooldown, Lv5 +1m range
• New debuff: Rooted - shows by the health bar and in your buff row
• Regeneration heals the same total but more slowly: 3 health/s for about 27s (was 4/s for 20s), and costs 15 more mana (60, Lv2+ 55)

alpha1.22

• Rockball reworked: much faster (25 m/s at every level), and it swells as it flies - 4x size after 1s, 7x after 2s. 45 damage (Lv5 50), 45 mana, 6s cooldown. Levels: Lv2 -5 mana, Lv3 -5 mana, Lv4 -1s cooldown, Lv5 +5 damage
• Heal and Regeneration now take a 1s charge, Small Heal 0.5s - you draw your hands in to your chest as it charges, then open them on the cast
• Less air control: changing direction mid-jump is a bit slower
• Fixed a streak of trail particles flying from a projectile's cast point toward the middle of the map for other players

alpha1.21

• New spell: Reflect Wall. Puts up a 3x3m wall of light in front of you for 1s - every projectile and hitscan spell that hits it bounces back, and counts as yours. 40 mana, 20s cooldown
• New spell: Gravity Lift. Opens a swirling column of light at your feet for 5s - anyone standing in it (friend or foe) rises up and hovers 10m up until they step out or it ends. 30 mana, 20s cooldown

alpha1.20

• New melee weapon: Magic Sword. Pick it in the loadout's Melee panel, press V to conjure it into your hand (1s), then click to swing it two-handed - 20 damage, lands 0.35s into the swing, 1s between swings, three alternating swings (diagonal, rising backhand, overhead), with a swing whoosh, hit sounds and a camera kick on each strike (stronger when it connects). V again or any spell key puts it away
• Warhammer reworked like the Magic Sword: V pulls it out two-handed (1.5s), then click to smash - 1s wind-up, 35 damage (was 25), daze + knockback as before, now only 3s between smashes (was 10s). Alternates an overhead slam and a sideways sweep, with a swing whoosh and camera kick. V again or any spell key puts it away (also calls off a smash mid-wind-up)
• New melee weapon: Kick (pick it in the Melee panel). V does a right-foot front kick: 10 damage, shoves them back 3m, 3s cooldown. You see your leg shoot out in first person
• Hard Punch and Soft Slap are now just Punch and Slap
• Magic Missile: damage -5 at every level (15, Lv5 20)

alpha1.19

• Crouch with Left Ctrl: duck through a gap one Icewall tile high, move slower and silently (no footsteps or dust)
• Hold or toggle crouch: new Toggle Crouch setting in Controls, and Crouch is rebindable in Keybinds
• Flame Breath now has its own animation: your hand stays held out while you breathe
• First person: your left arm stays on the left while sprinting or crouching instead of drifting into the middle
• The fingers' idle wiggle on a held spell now plays once every 30 seconds instead of constantly

alpha1.18

• Every spell now sits in the same first-person spot as Fireball: low on the right, out of the middle of the screen
• Self-cast spells (Heal, Speed, Mage Armor...): your left hand now comes in from the left side of the screen

alpha1.17

• New HUD: health and mana orbs either side of a rune-stone hotbar, with an icon for every spell
• A mana arc under the crosshair, buff icons with timers above the health orb, and the spell's name shown when you swap
• Your first-person arms now move exactly like your character does in third person
• New casting animation for attack and placement spells: the palm turns to the target and pushes the spell away
• Charging spells (Lightning, Rockball, Magic Missile lock-on, Return) have a new gathering charge animation
• Fireball: the flame leaves your hand and flies into the shot when you cast, and the held flame sits further to the right

alpha1.16

• Lightning: you're Electrified for the whole 1.5s charge - you can't move, and you slow to a dead stop over half a second, even mid-air
• Magic Missile: damage -10 at every level (20, Lv5 25), cooldown +1s at every level
• When a Magic Missile is homing in on you, a light blue arc points at it and a quiet ping repeats until it's gone
• You can no longer sprint backwards (holding Sprint while moving backwards just walks)

alpha1.15

• Landing now kicks up a dust puff the colour of the ground - the harder you land, the bigger it is
• Landing dust also shows in replays

alpha1.14

• Fireball: direct hit damage 30 -> 20 (plus 20 splash, so a direct hit now deals 40)

• Icicle: 20 damage per icicle (was 25), mana cost 30 (Lv2+ 25), cooldown is now per cast
• Icicle: launches at 100 m/s, slows to 20 m/s between 10m and 30m, then keeps drifting
• Icicle: swapping spells mid-burst cancels the remaining icicles
• Icicle upgrades: Lv3 +10 launch speed
• Updraft reworked: it now always launches you the same height (16m, Lv5 19m) - jumping or falling first no longer changes how high you go
• Magic Missile: damage +20 at every level (30, Lv5 35)
• Cloak: duration 15s -> 8s (Lv5 9s)
• Jumping and sprinting now kick up small dust puffs the colour of the ground - still visible while cloaked

alpha1.13
