Another week has passed and we have been hard at work...

As mentioned in the last devlog we set up a little roadmap, giving us the ability to plan ahead much more confidently.
Based on this, we're happy to announce that the official beta release for TotS is planned for December 2022!

To fill in the time until release, we're gonna cover the new features on a weekly basis, with today's topic being:

The New Magic System

After implementing all sorts of new spells, from classical bolts and explosions to versatile support spells, we are going to give you the ability to utilize them in various ways.
(No worries though, we won't spoil any details of the spells you can find)

That's why we've decided to add three ways of using the new magic system:

• Firstly, there are runes. These always hold a single spell and occupy one of your hands. Runes cannot be placed in a quick slot, so you will be limited to a maximum of two spells when using them. But since they block only one hand, you can combine them with single handed weapons for a true sword & sorcery experience.
• The second item enabling your spell-slinging powers are spell books. These hold three spells, but also take up both of your hands. This means you aren't able to combine spell books with regular weaponry - except for those fitting into a quick slot, of course ;)
• As a third option we introduced spell scrolls. Unlike runes and spell books, they don't consume any mana when used, but are destroyed upon being cast! Spell scrolls can be placed in a quick slot, making them very versatile but also limited because of their single-use nature.

We hope you enjoyed this small Devlog and are as excited for the upcoming beta release as we are.
Hang tight for next weeks update!

Cheers
