Druidry (Nature Attunment Path)

Innervate : Adds mana over time yourself and all nearby allies.

Occultist (Dark Magic Path)

Necromancy : Tamed dinosaurs drop a corpse when killed, that can be resurrected at a Tranquilo Hut.

Thaumaturgy (Magic meets science Path)

Infusion : Equipment may be placed into the Astrolab and infused with magic, for a chance at upgrading it to a higher (or lower) tiered item. It is possible to for an item to jump two tiers, in some cases in it's quality.

In testing..

A balance pass is underway, and may hit server testing within the next 2 patchs. This should significantly reduce the cost of spells, and in some cases damage. We expect many iterations of balance, but can't justify high costs, with a development build that in some cases may break.
Arkanic Tome will soon reach testing, to seperate paths in the mod so you can't learn everything.
Invocation and Shamanism will be removed.
Pyrokinetics (Fire), and Aerotheurge (Wind) will take their place, Geomancy will receive a small rework (Earth), and we will be adding in 2 new paths, Hydrosophist (Water) and Zealotry.
We are exploring a way to procedurally detect explorer notes spawns.This may effect the way players "Discover" the past (new paths). This will hit server testing once the tome is also ready.
Witchery's Enchanted Broomstick has been developed. It is now "Unstable Broomstick". We made some considerable balance passes at it a
