Magic Mirror Update: Mage Customization + Staff Lounge Room + QoL

Magic Mirror Update

Build a Magic Mirror and change the look of your Mages however you'd like. Clothing, hair, colors, it's all within the power of the mirror!

Once your staff are dressed to impress, they’ll head to the Staff Lounge to sip, relax, and recharge. They'll boost Recreation and gain Conviction while they unwind in style!

We got excited about customizing Mages, so now you can also customize the color of lights in your school. Just select a Torch, Brazier, or Candelabra and select the color you'd like.

Make sure and check out the new screenshot mode that we used to get these shots! Look for it on the bottom center time panel.

As usual, there's also a ton of other fixes, balance, and QoL in this update. We're so very thankful for everyone who helped us test the Magic Mirror.
