Every level you've ever earned has been quietly saving up for this. Something hums under Thundoria now — point your talents at it, slot your favorites, and let the sparks fly.
Talents arrive — press T for the new talent window: five trees (Melee, Ranged, Magic, Support, and Tradecraft), forty-two talents across gated tiers. You earn a talent point every time ANY skill levels up — and every level you've already earned has been counted and granted retroactively. Respec is free while we're in beta, so experiment freely.
An ability bar of your own — four slots on Q / Z / X / C. Drag abilities straight from the talent window onto the bar, drag between slots to swap, right-click to clear. Hover any talent or slot for the full picture: energy cost, cooldown, cast time, reagents you'll need — and a peek at what the next rank brings.
Magic is real — the first three spells are live: Spark Bolt, Frost Grasp, and Storm Nova. Spells are cast with mineral essences cracked out of the mine's depths, and every hit earns Magic experience. Bring reagents; the storm doesn't fuel itself.
Energy, set free — swinging, mining, chopping, and farming no longer drain your energy. Energy is your ability pool now: it recharges on its own (faster out of combat), and a bigger pool banks more casts. Food is for healing — eat to top up your health, not your chores.
Dress for power — a gold ring or amulet now grows your energy pool; the amulet quickens its recovery, too.
Feel and fixes — abilities now swing your weapon (bow abilities draw the bow), cooldowns count down the right way, and an ability that needs a bow says so — its slot greys out until you're holding one.
