Jinn
Tweaked so it turns off lights and the breaker slightly more often than other ghosts.
Tweaked so it turns off lights and the breaker slightly more often than other ghosts.
If lights are on and the Jinn cannot hunt, it increases the chance of turning off the breaker each time.
Once a hunt is successful, this increased chance resets.
If the Jinn attempts to hunt but fails because lights are on, it returns to normal activity for 20 seconds before trying again.
Myling
Taking a photo of a Myling now drains 15 sanity instead of 5.
Taking a photo of a Myling during a hunt now makes it disappear for 2 seconds instead of 1.
Phantom
