    1. v 1.8.1 Bug fixes, Spell Update Preview, and I’m taking a Vacation!
    2.  
    3. The current plan for the spell casting update, some bug fixes, and communication that I will be out for a bit
    4. Hey all! Wanted to give a little preview of the Spell Casting Update coming this fall. Also wanted to communicate that I will be taking a brief vacation for the first 3 weeks of August to take my wife on a Honeymoon! I apologize in advance if I am not responding to comments as frequently or pushing patches as often as I have been this summer, but rest assured I'm not abandoning the game, just need to take a few weeks off. As for what the future holds...

    7. Spell Casting Plan
    8. The current plan for the spell casting update is to allow the player to select 4 spells to take with you during the campaign. Every hero has one signature spell, with the other 3 will initially be made up of weaker, starter spells. Those other 3 spells will be able to be swapped out with any other unique hero spell that is unlocked.
    9.  
    10.  
    11.  
    12. Starter Spells
    13. There will be a handful of starter spells that do small amounts of direct damage or buff leadership and stuff like that. They won't be as powerful as hero spells and will be more placeholder until stronger hero spells are unlocked
    14.  
    15.  
    16. Unlocking Spells
    17. Completing a Godking campaign on a hero unlocks their spell, making it available to any hero on any future run.
    18.  
    19.  
    20. 16 Heroes. 16 Signature Spells.
