Allergies

So this week, we debuffed a particular Sorcerer combo. Some of you already know what it’s about and unfortunately we could not let this riot continue unimpeded. Sorry, folks!

In compensation for hitting this class with a rather specific nerf stick (affecting what has been an undoubtedly cool general-purpose combo), we make the humble peace offering of a slightly buffed Wizard. Lose some, win some.

A few other nice things this update include a free ticket to romp through Gaan-Telet’s Hard mode after the first win, a minor CP improvement to the Balanced Dagger and one small IMAWAL buff. Interface and information systems have also been tightened in lots of little places, and we’ve already got some code in place for the brand-new Desktop Dungeon Codex. Hooray!

We did a fairly decent bug run this week, thanks to everyone for the reliable posting! Remember that we regularly check on the semi-official bug thread in the forums, though e-mailed reports are welcome too. Changelog follows:
