This release has a new passive/triggered spell system that I think opens the door to a lot of really cool possibilities. I am particularly interested in using it in the upcoming "RPG" (D&D-style) configs.

For now, there are just two new passives added to the survival configs:

• Aqualung: Available at the Beginner level, this gives you an extra breath of air right as you start to drown
• Critical: Available at the Apprentice level, this gives you a random chance to deal bonus damage whenever you use a damaging spell

Passive spells can be obtained in the enchantment table spell shop just like any other spell.

They will appear in your spell inventory, but instead of being castable they can be toggled on and off. When on they will engage automatically when needed.

You do not need to be holding a wand for passive effects to be active.

For some more examples of what can be done with passives, see here:

Expect to see a lot more of these in the future!
