On the Handling of Content
Summary: In which the codex opens; options are begun; the handling of content is reworked, and DLC hopefully supported; a proof-of-concept "DLC" set is made; the player-character becomes shinier still; and a moon is removed.

BADA BOOM!
Summary: In which a fox-shadow gains an empowered version; a new spell summons bone-walls; another new spell summons METEORS; certain spell-damages are tweaked; a new spreadsheet aids in spell-balancing; artefacts and spell-icons gain art; more highlights are included into the game's art-style; a cursor is tweaked; and a bare beginning has been made towards the "codex" feature.
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot shows the effect of a new defensive spell:

A Friendly Shadow
Summary: In which icons are created or reworked; an effect is made for "grabbing"; and a defensive spell is added to the player's arsenal.
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot shows some new or revised icons for three of the player's "metroidvania abilities":

Usable Interfaces
Summary: In which the currently-selected attack-spell is indicated; the "status-screen" is themed and adjusted; each of the "inventory", "items and notes", and "map" pages see work; and map -rendering and -labelling is polished.
Greetings and salutations!
This week's screenshot shows a new bit of (in-progress) UI work, specifically for the "items and notes" screen:
And indeed, wanting a break from enemy-work, in the week just past I instead focussed primarily on matters of UI, as I recall:
