# System Changes

* Mana cost is spent throughout the skill instead of on use; cancelling skill or getting stunned will not consume mana.
* All crowd control mechanics (e.g. Freeze/Stun/Immobilise) build up over time, like "poise" allowing them to work on bosses if not immediately applied. Enemies and players also gain resistance to crowd control for a duration after being cc'd, reducing chain stun/freeze. Electrocute lets Lightning damage CC. Stun duration varies by monster
* Future Microtransaction system to turn items into skins - no ETA.
* Game pauses while looking at world map.
* The Hooded One can identify all items in your inventory in town.
* New character stat screen User Interface
* Culling strike kills normal, magic, rare, and unique enemies at 30%, 20%, 10%, and 5% life respectively.
* Dialogue and quest states will differ if you skip lore
* Conversion now only scales by the final damage type, and does not remember converted damage types. (e.g. 100% Physical to Cold no longer scales with Physical).
* League mechanics unlocked in story via quests (e.g. Delirium)
* Projectiles have gravity to limit off-screening (e.g. Porcupines) and can be dodge-rolled
* Vendors sell items with more modifiers instead to be more likely to sell good levelling items
* Increased Item Rarity and monster rarity bonuses will significantly affect currency drops.
* Light Radius extends minimap fog of war range
* Charges do not grant inherent bonuses and instead empower skills which consume them. Skills that spend charges cannot gain charges.
