Hi everyone, and Happy New Year! Hope you've been staying safe and healthy, and that the holidays have been treating you well.

Happy to report that Demo ver 1.6 has now been uploaded. The update is 35.5k words in total, covering the bulk of the Aulain arc (it ends just after the big Arcadia flashback scene towards the end of the arc - you know the one). As alluded to in previous devlogs, the earlier parts of the arc have been completely overhauled, and basically written from the ground up. Personally, I'm very pleased with Aulain's new ambiance and plot beats have turned out, and I hope you will be, as well. The later parts of the update retain much of the old demo's content, but have been refined and edited to better fit the new demo's frame of context. In particular, the dialogues have been revised heavily, with the goal of it becoming less anachronistic and juvenile.

The next update should fully complete the Aulain arc. In the original demo, only about 8k words were left there, with the bulk of it being denouement sequences like Father Gerian's funeral. The plan for the new demo is to expand the last leg of the fight significantly, taking advantage of Aulain's new ambiance, and resolve the new plot threads introduced in this demo. I hope you'll look forward to it!

Unfortunately, owing to my lack of foresight regarding my artists' availability around the holidays, the artworks I intended to commission for this month have yet to be completed. For the arcanist art rewards, I have a couple of backup artworks prepared ahead of time featuring Falco and Yurui's signature spells, which will go up shortly after this devlog. For the monthly features, however, I'm sorry to report that I don't have that failsafe prepared. The commission is in the pipeline, and I should be able to post them in the first half of January. I have also included a (currently empty) imgur link to the end of last month's Monthly Features post, to which I will be uploading the artworks upon their completion. If you intend to unsubscribe to the Patreon for January, please save/bookmark that link, so that you will be able to access the artworks when they are finished. I do apologize for the hassle!

I'll be back tomorrow to answer comments, questions, and address potential bugs. As always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!

I like it when a work makes me put myself in the shoes of a character, I certainly wouldn't have the courage to do the same as Lord Dynast. I always get emotional when Augur says goodbye during the preservation ritual. Poor Ghisan, the man deserves to rest too. Great work, as always.

In the rewrite is it the same that a year has passed since the MC's death and now resurrection? Also, has Eli's motivation for joining the Sabers changed? In the previous demo, I think Y mentioned that they primarily joined because it would grant them easier resources to search for and find the MC

Salam bro this is a random question will the mc ever learn theurgy?

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you're planning on adding other options for how MC spends their time in thulrum? Instead of opening a business, I mean! Thank you, love the demo so far! And I hope the rest of your day is wonderful.

Hey! Thanks for the update. Btw, I'm playing as female MC and when you go to the adventure's guild, it says: "Father, stop. You're creeping [him] out," says the girl sitting across from you—the man's daughter, evidently. "I'm sorry about him. He wouldn't know personal space if it squared him in the jaw." I think [him] should be a variable (I added the brackets to make it obvious what I'm talking about!).

Hi, believe this might be a bug. "You already consider him one of your own," Eli says, grinning. "I'm glad. It seems you've grown to be quite welcoming in the time I've been away." 【Eli】 bristles at the statement, lips pulled into a scowl. "Not nearly as welcoming as the grave. Which is where you'll be headed should you choose to keep this up." "I may not be the best person to threaten with that," Eli says. "You wouldn't have gone all this way for me if I were so disposable."

Hey, Dashingdon is closing down at the end of the month. I don't know if you've seen the news yet, so I felt compelled to comment here. I hope you see it.

Hello, First off loved the game even before the rewrites started, and I enjoy the new Arcadian life as I've seen so far. In playing I've found some minor pronoun miss matches and typos, but I find that atleast for me and a few other creators I work with usually getting bogged down with those while still trying to complete the work can break the flow. Still, I just found that in the flashback before we rescue Eli my tutor gives the fake name I use post resurrection instead of my real name. And playing further it seems to have stuck. I mention this because it seems like in the code the fake name given when I started my new life has replaced my real name which would make things more complicated to fix if it gets buried. And if this was the intent, it makes things weird to read as when later Eli realizes who it is, but with our fake name she would not have known it's awkward.

Hey do you know that DashingDon is going down at the end of the month?
