- Patch Update - Better Physics & Spellbook Controls! - 26 August 2026
Hello everyone!We have another small patch with a few improvements and fixes based on feedback.Better PhysicsItems should now feel a little more reactive when you're moving them around the shop.When you pick up an item from the ground, nearby items will now wake up as well, allowing them to react more naturally to what you're doing around them.Better SpellbooksApologies for not catching this one earlier!At some point, some of the UI input logic for the spellbooks had reset. This made navigating them with a controller more awkward than it was supposed to be.The Sorcery and Enchantment spellbooks should now feel much better to navigate and interact with using a controller.Bug Fixes & TuningAs usual, this patch also includes various bug fixes, tweaks, and general tuning throughout the game.Thank you everyone for continuing to play, report issues, and send feedback!
