Small detail, The description for argalia in the character selection screen is cut off by the edge of the screen.in the English version.

I have to say I am sorry for taking a while for Argalia, as I was playing other things and mostly testing stuff, as I also want to ask if the behavior of the card or the text should be the one changing. Like for example Roland's "Assault" card applies the vulnerable first and then deals the damage, unlike other cards in Slay the Spire like "Bash" from the Ironclad which deal the damage later and then apply the vulnerable.

The rest are just minor things I write (Like Mental_tremor being called Vibration on the english version of Library of Ruina, the character selection text of Roland and Argalia going off the screen, that type of things) which don't need to be solved quickly and others which are more important (Like cards not saying coreectly the order of applying status effects) so yeah I am using the cards and checking in what order the effects go.

@Pandemonium
Sorry, I don’t know why Steam discussion messages haven’t been notifying me on time—I just saw your message now.

@Masterblaster38
No worries, my dude. You’ve already done a lot for translating my mod—no need to apologize. (￣▽￣)

I honestly didn’t pay attention to the order of effects in the descriptions. The current issue is probably because I misunderstood how the effect order should be written. Across the entire mod, I only specifically changed Roland’s "Atelier Logic" logic to apply debuffs before dealing damage.

Looks like I’ll need to go back and update the descriptions accordingly.

@Masterblaster38
In the Chinese translation of Library of Ruina, the status effect Algaria applies to enemies is translated as 【震颤】, and the effect triggered by using a page is 【心灵震颤】. I originally intended to find the corresponding English original terms on the wiki, but for some reason, the English version looks different from the Chinese one. This left me lost on the wiki, unable to find the correct English names.

After explaining the context to an AI, it translated 【震颤】as "Vibration" and 【心灵震颤】as "Mental Tremor". However, without the original English text for comparison, I’m not sure if these translations are accurate.

@CupOfChino
Oh don't worry, I just said those suggestions as despite the direct translation of "震颤" and "心灵震颤" being "Vibration" and "Mental Tremor" respectively, I felt like the status being called "Vibration" and the term of triggering the status effect with the cards (Which you called "Mental Tremor") should be called "Resonance." as that is the name of the passive in the game (And the game says in some pages "If this page activates resonance..." and the effect, which I checked on the wiki.) is mostly because I feel like PM translation should be prioritized as it is the "Official" translation.

What I mean is that the text of the game may have a direct translation, but PM decided to use another word which is better to tell what they meant.

@Masterblaster38
Of course, if there's an official version from Project Moon, then it's better to use their translation.
So what I need to do is change: Mental Tremor → Resonance, right?

@CupOfChino
Yeah, precisely! "Mental Tremor" should be changed to "Resonance."

Here it is, the translation of all of Argalia's pages. I did not check the behavior of all of them, but I did change "Mental Tremor" by "Resonance" so it is best if this update for the translation is sent at the same time as the keywording change.
This also includes some notes in some cards, which are more questions than anything.
(I also realized that there are only 3 or 4 cards which lower vibration, one of them only doing so when you trigger resonance itself.)

I added the additional description for the card “Azure Rhythm” because some players might choose the fourth option during character selection — "Replace the starting relic."

This makes players a bit more comfortable when choosing that fourth option. After all, as a player, it's only fair that you're free to choose whichever start option you like. (￣▽￣)"

@CupOfChino
Ok news, I think I compleately fumbled the translation of Mathematician (The card was towards the lower end of the collection menu and I did it in one day so my mind probably was off).

I had never used it so I thought that what it did was that it reversed the condition of resonance, making it so it triggers when vibration is over or under the amount of energy you have by 1 or more. But it isn't that. By what I am reading from the passive of the power, it only lowers/increases the vibration of the enemy by 1 to try to match their vibration to your energy. Or at least I think so, as I am hittting an enemy with 7 vibration with the passive and it is not activating resonance?

Yet the passive says "Condition changes to: After using a card, if the difference between remaining cost and target's Vibration stacks is no more than 1, trigger Resonance." did it mean the cost of the card you are using? Or am I missing something?

@Masterblaster38

I also forgot whether I had confirmed that the English translation for Mathematician was correct 😂

But here's how the effect actually works:

The original Resonance trigger condition worked like this:

Without Mathematician:

Enemy has 2 Vibration.
You have 3 Energy.
If you play a card that costs:

1 Energy: Before playing, your Energy is 3. The difference between 3 and 2 is within 1 → Resonance triggers.
2 Energy: Before playing, your Energy is still 3. Difference is still within 1 → Resonance triggers.
With Mathematician:

Instead of checking your Energy before using the card, it checks your Energy after using the card.

So in the same situation:

Enemy has 2 Vibration.
You have 3 Energy.
If you play a card that costs:

1 Energy: After playing, your Energy becomes 2. |3 - 2| = 1 → Resonance triggers.
2 Energy: After playing, your Energy becomes 1. |3 - 1| = 2 → Resonance does NOT trigger.
Additionally, at the start of your turn, Mathematician compares the enemy’s Vibration stacks with your current Energy:

If your Energy > enemy’s Vibration → increase enemy’s Vibration by 1.
If your Energy < enemy’s Vibration → decrease enemy’s Vibration by 1.
By the way, this was actually the original trigger condition for Resonance. Initially, I used the default Slay the Spire method to get current Energy, but that method returns the energy after deducting the card cost (because that's how STS handles it internally). Later, I realized I could pass the card cost directly to a custom function — which led to the current Resonance condition. That's why we now check based on the card cost instead of player energy

@Masterblaster38

I went to check and yeah, there was indeed a small issue with the translation of Mathematician — and honestly, I didn’t review it carefully back then. No worries though, I totally get it — when there's a lot of text, it's really easy to get tired and miss things.

I had an AI translate the original Chinese description just now:

Change the trigger condition of Resonance:

When you play a card, compare your remaining energy after playing the card with the target's Vibration. If the difference is no more than 1, Resonance triggers.

At the start of your turn, the enemy’s Vibration is automatically adjusted based on the difference between your current Energy and their Vibration.

Using this again reverts Resonance to its original trigger condition.

What do you think, bro? Seems a little bloated.....
