The intrepid adventurer can now learn to cast their first spell from the proprietor of the magic shop. With each use, the mastery of the spell increases so it drains less mana and mana refills faster. More spells are in the works, but much of the work on this release has been involved with getting this new system working.
The body modelling conversion to the new system is now completed too, which should not have changed anything (that was not already a bit broken). This will enable muscle/strength to affect body size in the future.
If you encounter errors when playing please do report them to me!
