• upgraded Potions, a stronger version for almost every potion in the game and in other mods
  
• 3 colorless cards
  
• 6 general relics for the relic pool
  
• 2 general potions
  
• 1 Event (with different effects when you are the Sage)

Works with V2.0 of the game.

A mechanic who studied about the cult of a blue bird.
She learned flying a carpet and brewing potions in order to stop its rise.


Main themes of Sage's gameplay are her ability to fly (almost like Byrds do, just on a carpet), her skill to brew potions over time, and her speciality to tinker with Artifacts on enemies.

Flight
Flight is the same buff that we all know from our beloved Byrd friends. This changes the gameplay quite drastically, since the enemies' attacks are altered: As long as you have Flight, you will take 50% less attack damage. But beware, for each time you take unblocked attack damage, you will lose one charge! If you lose the last charge, you will take double damage of all attacks, also in the same round. Surviving without Flight can be -- rough, especially because you don't start with the healthiest amount of max HP.

Brewing
Every basegame character has its special take on a card type: The Ironclad likes Attacks, The Silent goes well with Skills and The Defect is specialized in playing Powers. Rather than introducing a new card type, this character focusses on another game element: Potions.
Usually you have to wait a couple of turns before your potions are ready to use. But there is also a Brewing power that will help brewing your potions faster. The potion mechanic introduces many new tactical decisions because, just as you might know, you can only hold a couple of potions at the same time.

X cost cards
We decided to include 9 (sic, in words: nine!) cards with X cost in The Sage's card set. They share the theme of being guidebooks. We balanced the X cost cards so that you can build an entire archetype out of them. Some people say this makes Chemical X ridiculous, but we find it actually doesn't break the game (probably). You might even find a power that gives you Energy for reading those books... now that could be called ridiculous!

Artifact
When playing this character, you will have to make strategic decisions about where you would like Artifacts to be and where not. Several cards allow you not only to gain Artifacts for yourself, but also to "help" the enemies with some of this Ancient Gearwheels. Artifacts on enemies will let you handle them easier. Do you want to stack Artifacts on your enemies or do you prefer giving them debuffs? The tinkering is up to you...

We want the upgraded potions to work with any other mods. Currently the potions from the following mods are taken into account:

• Infinite Spire,
• Replay The Spire,
• Conspire,
• Jedi Mod,
• Marisa,
• Yuyuko,
• Construct.

If you encounter any issues with Upgraded Potions from mods behaving weirdly or not making a lot of sense, please let us know!

We are a programmer and a game designer, but no artists! While we appreciate that there are some very beautiful mods out there, we went with rather goofy self-made art. It is not complete, it is not perfect, but still we find it funny and matching the style of the game.

• English
• German
• Simplified Chinese

• Balance (we have been playtesting since end of 09/2018, most things should be reasonable by now but we are still adding and tweaking here and there, feedback is welcome);
  
• growing the card set to full size of 75 (feel free to share your ideas if you like to);
  
• card art will be added in slow pace (Jonas made all of it so far, we would be glad for any other contribution);
  
• maybe we'll come up with some more suprises...?
