The Ephemeral Upgraded: Ghosts of Damage Future

The Ephemeral is a cool mod that got somewhat of a bad rap due to its somewhat nuanced mechanics. So I reached out to the creator, ResponsibleAlex, and asked him if I could make my own fork and keep updating it. This is where we are now. Many cards have been changed, upgraded, and a few added. The early game should be easier while the late game stays no less goofy and powerful.

Many common (and created) cards have had their damage buffed slightly, and several effects were either added for more damage or converted to do damage. There we also some minor nerfs on cards that really were overperforming, looking at you, Swirling Mists!

I want to give a shout out to ResponsibleAlex, who gave me permission and also created the original mod as well as Templar and Robot Space Explorer. Check them out! They are all excellent mods. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/id/responsiblealex

A special thanks to Vex'd too, without his help, I wouldn't have even known how to begin coding some of this stuff. It's a bit of a leap to go from no programming experience to suddenly tinkering around in mods.

Mod Description:

A blind oracle betrayed by a cult long ago...a specter that now haunts the Spire, seeking vengeance. You may not be able to see, but you can see the future! Use ghostly cards that vanish completely after a few uses, and manipulate fate to exact your revenge.

Please note: by default, you cannot view the Draw or Discard piles. In the main menu, if you go to Mods -> The Ephemeral -> click Config -> you will be able to re-enable viewing those piles if you want. There is also a setting to reverse the order of the Revealed cards if that is more intuitive for you.

The Ephemeral is a playable mod character with the following:
* 78 cards*
11 relics
* 3 potions

Ephemeral themes:
* Augury keyword: see the top X cards of your draw pile in order
* Manipulating the top of your draw pile
* Fated keyword: trigger a stronger or additional effect for the first Fated card played each turn
* Vanishing keyword: exhausts when played and counts down; when the counter reaches zero, the card is removed from your deck
* Entropy keyword: playing an Entropy card increases the damage and block of ALL Entropy cards for the rest of combat
