  • Increased instrument modifiers on Underfoot instruments and added them where they were missing.

  • All undead should now see invisibility in the Cooling Chamber Mission zone.
  • Moved Darott and Greph in the foundation to a safer location away from their more curmudgeonly brethren.
  • Adjusted rank 1 spell rewards to ensure that all spells are available via current mission rewards.

      • Spells ***
  • Increased the number of charges granted by the Mana Reiterate aura to 6.
