Buffs:

Aura of Purity

Cost increased to 2. Now cleanses existing debuffs when applied.

Boots of Imminent Doom

Now uses the spell's range rather than a fixed radius of 4. Petrification Aura reworked, the duration of petrify is equal to the spell's duration. (was previously fixed at 2 turns) charges reduced 3 → 2, duration reduced 7 → 6. Plague of Filth's Plague Horseman upgrade now summons a permanent Black Rider. Eye Spells with the 'onlooker' upgrade will now summon that unit on recasting the spell. Dispersion Field now stacks duration by default. Gave Sight of Blood the Eye tag.

Nerfs: Floating Eyeball's Eyemage upgrade restricted to other level 2 Eye spells. (2 turns to get 10+ sets of Ion tentacles was a little too silly.)

Bug Fixes

Fixed crash when using Death Cleave's Cleaving Whirlwind teleport over chasms. Vampiricism no longer triggers Thorns. Thorns no longer trigger on allied attacks. Fixed Magnetize’s Hemomagnetism upgrade not functioning. Fixed Icicle’s Storm Spike targeting web tiles incorrectly. Underworld Passage – Make Entrance: Tooltip now correctly appears.

AI Behavior

Lifedrain AI will now avoid targeting units already affected by the debuff. Berserk units no longer prioritize the player over other valid targets.

UI & Miscellaneous

Reinstated Fireball's Ash Ball upgrade.

Ion Tentacles

Tooltip now shows more useful information on behavior.

Mass Calcification

Now previews affected allies before casting. Rain of Thunderbolts Everstorm upgrade renamed to Stormbringer to reflect behavior. Slime Form – Blood Slimes now inherit all minion bonuses correctly. Regenerative Goop – Regen Aura tooltip now shows added Slime tag. Fixed a handful of typos and missing tooltips in examining spell upgrades.
