⚡ New Monster: the Voltaic Wraith
Give a thunderous round of applause for the Voltaic Wraith, one of the deadliest and most menacing creatures ever seen in Dark Hours. Watch out, or you might become a danger to your allies.

🛷 New gameplay Item: the mirror
Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? Alright, it’s not magical — but it’s definitely powerful!
