This release marks a milestone in development, so I am officially treating it as the **1.0 release**.
## New Content
### Items
- Added **"Apprentice's Memo"** (**Requires Patchouli, strongly recommended**): An in-game manual for the mod. (Languages other than Japanese are machine-translated.)
## Changes / Tweaks
### Spell Balance Adjustments
- **Silent Assassin**
- Damage is now fixed and no longer scales with spell power.
- Adjusted the headshot damage multiplier.
- Removed the stealth bonus.
- Added a damage bonus for successful headshots against targets with nearly full health.
- **Commence Fire**
- The headshot damage multiplier is now fixed and no longer scales with spell power.
- The number of recasts is now fixed.
- **Fly Swatter**
- Reworked the lock-on system to use recasts for target locking, similar to Iron's **Flaming Barrage**.
- Adjusted missile trajectories to improve accuracy.
- Changed the explosion handling on impact to be more consistent with other spells.
- Adjusted damage and the maximum number of locked-on targets.
- **Quick Arms**
- Added a minimum interval of 0.25 seconds between shots.
- Bullets can now bypass damage immunity frames.
- The number of recasts is now determined only by spell level.

- **Craftsman's Delight** is still required for enchantment effects to apply.
### Other
- Updated some spell icons.
- Removed most item descriptions from JEI following the addition of the in-game manual.
- Patchouli remains optional, but **installing it is very strongly recommended**.
## Bug Fixes
