Flaire The Spellblade (DST!)

DS version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2448845012

Flaire is a princess, who would much rather be a spellblade! Secretly training to become one, a strange voice lead her to the Don’t Starve world, where she continues her training without interruption…

* To cast a spell, you must have a useable weapon in hand. (Swords, spears, tentacle spikes, etc.)
* Left clicking on the Mana gauge cycles forward in your spell repertoire, and right clicking it cycles backwards. Note that you must have a weapon in hand for this to work.

• You can also set a hotkey for spell-swapping in the configuration settings in the main menu (e.g Control + Camera Rotate).

• Flaire has access to a new resource called Mana; this is her bread and butter. When a spell is cast, it uses up a chunk of mana.
• Mana regenerates passively only when treading upon nature turf. This makes some places indirectly more dangerous, so be careful!
• The above means the same for handcrafted turfs like wooden flooring and such. However, she can create a structure that will not only increase mana regen in the area, but also allow you to regen mana on those handcrafted turfs. So don’t worry about base building!

  You can find this structure under Flaire’s character recipes, and it must be prototyped with an Alchemy Engine.

• Flaire has the ability to cast spells. These can be used to heal, dish out good damage, and more, utilizing the mana gauge.
• You start with two base spells, a damaging and a healing spell; however, more can be obtained by defeating enemies, having used at least one spell in the battle. It’s a low chance for it to drop, but gets higher with each spell cast.

• Flaire can also attune to the elements! Well, not by herself. She’s not experienced a spellblade enough for that yet! When you face the elements in a rudimentary way, you (potenially forcefully) attune yourself to that element, also known as aspect. Certain aspects enhance some spells, but weaken others. Careful with those fire hounds/moisture meter!
• Adding to the above, the special power of gems does allow her to activate an aspect on demand, but be careful- once you’re in an aspect, you have to ride it out fully!

• As a spellblade, Flaire is pretty accustomed to sword-casting. Therefore, she’s much better at casting spells with sword weapons compared to other weapons (spears, hambat, etc.)
• When you hit an enemy three times (with a castable weapon), you activate your combo! Your base spells then cost 40% less mana. Note the combo effect won’t pop up if you don’t have enough mana for a spell.
• Additionally, she starts with a blueprint for her very own sword, like Wigfrid has her own spear! (But, you have to craft it first!)
• The sword has 180 durability and deals 42.5 damage.
• Finally, when you’ve learned every additional spell, Flaire will consume 50% less durability when fighting or casting with sword-weapons!

• Eating prepared crockpot foods gives Flaire a certain amount of mana instantly. The amount recovered is determined by the food’s hunger value. The bigger it is, the more mana it regens; however, if the meal is too big, she will only recover a small amount of mana.

• As a princess, she is used to being a bit more reserved at the dinner table. Therefore, you cannot eat foods while full, preventing mass healing/other effects from foods- but most importantly, controls how much mana you can instantly regenerate.
• Flaire’s favourite food is a Breakfast Skillet! Note the bonus hunger from being favourite does not reduce the mana recovered from eating it.

• You can now cast a spell in succession on different targets for almost no mana cost; known as chain-casting!
  Most spells can be chained up to 6 times in a row, with the exception of Manaburst; which may only be chain-casted once. Vivify and Gleam cannot be chain-casted.
• A brand new spell; Vivify! (Resurrection spell!)
  You can get it by crafting a Telltale Heart. When cast, it gives the caster (not the ghost player!) a max-health penalty. This penalty however is only half that of what a Telltale Heart would take.
• Spell blueprint changes!
  Only you can pick up your spellprint for one minute after it spawns (or as soon as you’ve picked it up once). After that, you can exchange them!
• Manaburst changes!
  Manaburst grants a short damage buff, which may be constantly refreshed by casting any spell or fighting with a sword. Specifically, it grants you between 5-20% extra damage dealt based on your current aspect, on top of a flat extra 8 damage for every attack you deal. You can find finer details in the tips thread below!
• Boss-mana-regen!
  If you’re fighting a boss monster with your Manaburst damage buff active, instead of activating your combo every three hits, you will regenerate some mana instead—provided your mana is below the combo spell cost. Once again, you can find finer details in the tips thread below!
• Compatibility with Uncompromising Mode!
  Flaire has a few additions when playing with Uncompromising Mode, all listed in the tips thread below.
