• Added a new rare item drop that has a single magical property that is based on the creature it came from.
  
• Added an excavate/collapse action attached to shovels that will allow you to specifically create cave entrances/exits. You can now create new cave exits underground.
  
• Added a new magical property, "Terror" for scarecrows.
  
• You can now see how many turns are left before you can invoke within the item tooltips with 50% Theurgy skill.

• Scarecrows now benefit from their quality to improve their radius.
  
• Scarecrows now reveal their area of effectiveness via tooltips.

Balance

• Crafting recipes now also unlock when you have seen all the items that go in a craft, rather than needing them all available in your inventory/adjacent containers.

• Increased the base health/strength of merchants.
  
• Fire spreading now transfers a lot less of its decay to adjacent tiles.
  
• Raspberry bushes now contain more raspberries.
  
• Directly offered items no longer need to be crafted by a player to be accepted by a creature to tame them.
  
• Reduced the amount of items that a creature can produce/drop on a tile to 3.
  
• When corpses decay or are removed, items on top of them will sink in water or drop into voids.
  
• Consuming water tiles will now consume the full water amount instead of just rarely, to fix more water exploits. (Thanks Anketam!)
  
• Increased cold insulation on cloaks.
