Due to overwhelming mages power and to prevent other path to extinct while keeping it more balanced, we have decided to change some of mage ranged spells mechanic from simple damage for all target on screen to a new ranged based formula.

So with this changes the target near the caster will get full or extra damage while the target far from the caster will receive less damage

Range bonus or penalty will be calculated using the table below
Tiles Damage Bonus or (Penalty)
1 +20%
2 +10%
3 0
4 -5%
5 -15%
6 -30%
7 -60%
8 -75%
>8 -90%

Some bug has been fixed and a little improvement when buying gender specific equipment from NPC now it will show (M)ale or (F)emale in the description field.
We also reduce the backstep chance mechanic from most of the bosses :p

Thank you and have fun

NOTES:
the range bonus and penalty is not final and we will keep monitor the damage log until we are satisfied with the result

All above changes will be applied on next reset :P
