Very small update.

Changed Labyrinth magic item from Staff of Fire to Oakbane Axe.

Quick typo fix

General

All classes have had 1-3 stationary archer units added to their starting citadel. This is intended as a small QoL tweak and to avoid AI factions being eliminated in the first 10 turns due to wandering wildlife.

Events that add Labyrinth/Sphinx terrains at game start when they do not already exist have been updated so that the neutral monsters on the tile have a chance to carry magic items to make the tiles more interesting for classes other than the Senator. For the Labyrinth this item is specifically a Staff of Fire to also act as a means of a more dependable source of Burn Forest for classes that cannot claim Ancient Forests.

I added a few more descriptive details to a lot of my rituals to make their conditions + effects clearer.

Summon chance for Spring Ents increased from 10% to 15%.

However, the ritual can only be cast 3 times per individual Illusionist, the gem cost doubles with each cast: 50 -> 100 -> 200, and the quality of the mirror required increases as well: Large -> Silver -> Gold. If the Illusionist dies the Simulacrum that inherits his rituals will not reset this progression. It is still learned free with the Palace of Dreams ritual.
