    Volcano - The center of the map will erupt, punching a hole through the map.

    Ice Field - An avalanche will occasionally occur. Dropping Blizzard Bombs from the side of the cliff.

    Graveyard - Ghosts will spawn at regular intervals, that stun the player on hit.

  • Carnage Balance tweaks

    You now start with 5 lives as opposed to 3 for the entirety of Carnage mode, bosses have had there DMG output lowered and HP reduced as too streamline the process of grinding out achievements and unlocks.

  • Instants, Concentration and Channeled

    Spells are now divided into 3 categories. Primaries and Secondaries can now be used at the same time.

    Instants - Can be used at anytime in conjunction with another spell. (Example: Using Fire Ball and Ice Shard at the same time)

    Concentration - Can be used at anytime in conjunction with an instant spell, but not another concentration spell. Usually spells that must charge up to be used. (Example: Using Flamethrower and Fire Ball is allowed, but not Flamethrower and Wind Arrow)

    Channeled - Can only be used by itself and disallows the user to cast any other spells while spell is active. These are usually powerful spells with high mana costs. (Example: Charging Arcane Cannon.)

  • PvP Teams!

    Team battles have now been introduced! Both locally and online. User can swap between 3 teams, No Team, Red Team or Blue Team.

+ TONS of bug and crash fixes.

Passive Abilities have been delayed to a later patch, mostly due to this update being as large as it is. More fixes to come as the bugs show themselves.

Hope you enjoy!
