In the pursuit of understanding our family history, I came across some unexplained occurrences that have sparked curiosity and speculation. While researching, I stumbled upon an old family journal that hinted at the possibility of witchcraft within my ancestors. This revelation has left me with a mix of fascination, skepticism, and a desire to dig deeper into my family's past. One particular entry in the journal caught my attention. It described a woman who was said to possess supernatural abilities, such as healing the sick and predicting the future. The writer, who was believed to be a distant relative, spoke of this woman's undeniable connection to the spiritual realm.
The writer, who was believed to be a distant relative, spoke of this woman's undeniable connection to the spiritual realm. The more I read about her, the more I started to wonder if the gifts she possessed were perhaps inherited traits passed down through generations. This discovery led me to question the behaviors and characteristics of my family members throughout history.
Much To Tell For A Spell
Version 1.01 of Elemental: Fallen Enchantress has been cast forth. Stardock Entertainment has updated its turn-based strategy game, so providing a good amount of fixes and refinements. But there is more brewing already for the near future and the coming seasons.
Regarding the update, here are some highlights:
• Added the Iru Elixir (replaces the Strong Healing Potion)
• Added Dragonfly Bracers as a custom sovereign item (increases init by 2)
• Added ability to have spell-like effects with no casting and much more!
The 'much more!' bit, which includes performance boosts, UI improvements and assorted tweaks, can be learnt of by perusing the full changelog here.
Our further scrying revealed a version 1.1 is being planned to hit pre-Christmas, focusing on balance and, mainly, further beefing up of the AI as per the community feedback that reaches them meanwhile.
We hear too of a DLC pack that is coming out in 'a week or two' according to Stardock's CEO, which will consist of 'a series of hand crafted maps'. Fallen Enchantress has shifted some 50.000 copies since release and if this first DLC is well received further packs will be considered.
Regardless of how that pans out, an expansion is already being scheduled for early next year.
Lifting a tip of the veil:
I won't spoil it except to say that it's going to re-design the way champions are handled in the game. We want the game to generally move towards the power of your champions be a reflection of the power of your civilization.
We shall therefore look forward to seeing how these other developments materialize.
Madeline Miller’s Circe is positioned as misunderstood and struggling with her position between mortals and the divine, not as unfeeling as her more divine brethren. Her Circe transforms others into animals in (mostly) self-defence. Perhaps those looking for a less antagonistic take on the character can find inspiration there.
Were there any signs that they too possessed these supernatural powers or engaged in witchcraft? As I delved deeper into my family tree, I found numerous anecdotes and tales that hinted at such possibilities. There were stories about my great-great-grandmother, who was rumored to have the ability to communicate with animals and plants. She was said to possess an uncanny understanding of their needs and could heal them with a mere touch. Another tale involved my great-grandfather, who was believed to have the power to control the weather. The accounts described instances where he would mentally command rain to stop or clouds to part, seemingly defying the natural order of things. While these stories have been passed down through generations, the lack of concrete evidence and the ever-present skepticism surrounding the topic of witchcraft leave room for doubt. It is essential to consider the context in which these tales emerged. The historical period of these stories was a time when superstitions and folklore were prevalent, and people sought supernatural explanations for the unexplained. Inevitably, the question arises: were my family members really witches, or were these stories simply products of an imaginative era? It is difficult to ascertain the truth without concrete evidence or verifiable accounts. However, one cannot help but wonder if these stories carry a grain of truth or if they are merely legends embellished over time. Regardless of the veracity of these tales, their existence adds a fascinating layer to my family history. It highlights the rich tapestry of the human experience and the various beliefs that shape our understanding of the world. Exploring these stories allows me to connect with my ancestors on a deeper level and contemplate the mysteries that surround our shared past. So, were my family members witches? The answer remains elusive, hidden in the shadows of time. Yet, the journey to uncover the truth has shed light on the complexities of our family's history and the diverse experiences that have shaped us. Perhaps, in the end, it is the exploration and contemplation of these tales that matter most, rather than arriving at a definitive answer..
