v0.5.17d

• Fixed issue with the "Combustion" ability, where stacks would get stuck at zero with the status effect still persisting, if ability when upgraded past level 1.
  
• Fixed condition reduced of your equipped weapon when casting Pyromancy or Fulmination abilities (Magic spells are not intended to degrade the equipped weapon).
  
• The "Illusion" status effect is now hidden, ensuring creatures spawned due to insanity are less obvious to detect.

v0.5.17f

• Updated Fulmination active ability icons to have better contrast.
  
• Fixed "Chain Lightning" ability causing game crash, due to targeting non-combat entities.

v0.5.17g

• Fixed storage bug. Previously, when adding or removing items from storage, if you already had a stack of the same item, weight limits were not checked and the inventory UI was not refreshed. Now, it works as expected.
  
• Fixed ability upgrades "Perfect Finish", "Killing Momentum", and "Relentless Assault" not reducing cooldown if the child ability was also upgraded.
  
• Fixed Chivalry health upgrades (purchased with Oaths of The fallen) lost on game save/load. This fix works moving forward, and also returns previously purchased health upgrades that were lost.
  
• Fixed travel experience gained by passing turns in the overworld without actually travelling.
  
• Fixed game sprite for Storm-Chaser Treads boots floating next to player head instead of displaying on the feet as expected.
  
• Fixed pixel offset issue with with certain male chest armors.
  
• Updated item stats for "Sagohai's Staff".

• Fixed issue where certain items were missing from shop buy-lists. Armorers, clothiers, and blacksmiths will now purchase appropriate items they previously ignored.
  
• Fixed ring duplication bug caused by equipping an already equipped ring.
  
• Fixed crash when loading a save with a left-facing Duudahl.
  
• Fixed "Coup de Grace" not correctly applying its bonus crit chance and damage to attacks.
  
• Fixed item duplication and disappearance when moving enchanted and unenchanted versions of the same item between storage and inventory.
  
• Fixed Silt Strider spawning with negative Turn Health instead of positive, causing him to slowly die over time.
  
• Fixed Cave Spider using aggressive behavior instead of intended Curious behavior module (should follow but not attack unless provoked).
  
• Fixed upgraded "Combustion" passive reducing its initial stack after 3-4 turns instead of intended 5 turns.
  
• Fixed "Echo Current" passive incorrectly triggering while in the overworld.
  

• "Static Field" now requires Thunder damage to trigger.
  
• Magic spells no longer include on-hit bonuses from non-magical sources.
  
  • For example, on-hit bonuses like lifesteal, knockback, crit chance, etc. from your equipped weapon will not apply when casting spells.
    
  • However, if the spell itself provides such bonuses, they are applied as expected.
• Buffed "Static Lance" ability, adding knockback chance of +30|35|40|45|50% depending on level.
  
• Buffed "Ignite" ability, increased range from 2 to 3 tiles.

Flying creatures take no damage from ground environmental damage (fire, thunder). Right-click a creature to see traits, flying is shown with an icon the same as other traits.
  
• Converted all sound effects and music from 44.1 kHz to 48 kHz. This eliminates the extra resample + buffer delay that was causing a noticeable sync issue on some Linux systems.
  
• Fixed a sound sync issue which could cause sound effects to skip, when using the "Java Clip" sound engine option.
  
• Fixed issue where in some circumstances a zone's music would continue playing after leaving a zone.
  
• Fixed crash when using a hotbar potion icon through a keyboard shortcut without having the potion in the inventory.
  
• Fixed able to consume unlimited potions per turn via mouse from the hotbar (instead of the intended max 1 per turn).
  
• Fixed able to consume unlimited unidentified potions (instead of the intended max 1 per turn).
  
• Fixed certain statuses (e.g. steam vent, hexed) stuck permanently on summons.
  
• Fixed incorrect item icon for tempest robe.

v0.5.17k
