    1. Interlude Patch: Rhetorical Questing
    2.  
    3. Welcome, Scribes!
    4.  
    5. Last update, we introduced Storyboards: a bingo-boss-gauntlet of doom, strategy, and literary prowess! For some of you, the Torn may have had the last laugh - but we're here to give you a new tool to get the last word in: Monologue!
    6.  
    7. Interlude Patch: Rhetorical Questing introduces Monologue: a Spender that augments your Generator, a host of New Pages of Power (with some wild ones), and some tuning for Storyboards (and more)!
    8.  
    9. Everybody loves a good monologue and nothing beats a lengthy soliloquy... so if you feel like speaking aloud for a while, you should take a look at the ever-lengthening Vellum Roadmap in the main menu!
    10.  
    11.  
    12. Is This A Spender Which I See Before Me?
    13.  
    14.  
    15. Why yes, it is! Monologue enters the Scribe repertoire as a unique, self-buff Generator-amping Spender Spell!
    16.  
    17. Deliver a Stirring Speech to augment your Generator's Damage and Attack Speed, while allowing it to use Signature Mana effects! Monologue gains potency over time, drains Mana every 2s, and prohibits Mana generation while active.
    18.  
    19. This spell sets up a unique opportunity for Generator Spells to take center stage and shine! We expect some truly wild performances and interactions with builds. Break a leg!
    20.  
    21.  
    22. All The World's A Page...
    23.  
    24.  
    25. ... And all the Scribes and Readers awesome Players! A tale as old as time: we've dropped new Pages of Power into this Interlude Patch! These two are just a taste of the inky power in store for your run-ins with the Torn!
    26.  
    27. Dry Spell: Gain 4 Varnish/s while your mana is empty.
    28.  
    29. ... And Red All Over: Gain a 5% chance to apply Tether to all enemies when taking damage.
    30.  
    31. Let us know how your builds evolve with this fresh slate of strengths!
    32.  
    33.  
    34. If Patches Be The Bane of Bugs, Tune On
    35.  
    36.  
    37. We're smashing bugs and tuning some balance (or balancing some tunes) in today's update. A long-standing jumping bug gets a new angle (so let us know if NPCs get stuck airborne - they should be grounded at appropriate times now).
    38.  
    39. RENDITION gets a light edit on some of his Normal mode lethality and Quip gets a solid buff! Fun fact: Quip (one of our oldest spells) started off as a wind-based spell called "Gust" before we decided Vellum's magic was ink-based!
    40.  
    41.  
    42. Think But This, And All Is Mended:
    43. That you have but scribbled here, while these patch notes did appear!
    44.  
    45. Special thanks to our fantastic Discord Scribes who helped test this update - we appreciate your detailed feedback, as always!
    46.  
    47. We're eager to see how Monologue ends up changing your builds and runs across the game! Keep us posted (ideally in iambic pentameter) on your experiences with the new mold-breaking Spender and the slate of wacky pages!
    48.  
    49. Happy reading, and we'll see you in the next one!
