Hi everyone! Hope you're staying safe and healthy :D

Happy to report that the next update has been uploaded to CoGDemos. This update is 21.5k words long, and is chiefly focused on showcasing the new battle mechanic, which will be a fixture for the remainder of the series. It's been teased before in the Aulain arc, but now it's here in full force, and henceforth will be tracked by the stats page (you'll know it when you come across it!)

As a reminder, saves from the old update will not be usable in this one. That said, the character creator can now skip ahead to after the schoolhouse section, meaning you can get directly to the new content.

The update is horizontally expansive, splitting off into two huge sections depending on which fork of the new mechanic the mage has committed to. That does mean that each individual playthrough will be on the shorter side; if you're in the mood for it, replaying the different forks will allow you to see more of the content that's been written for this update.

Aside from that, there's also plot movement towards the end of the demo, which sets up the final plot beat for Thulrum. With how things look, we should wrap up with this section by the end of the next update, and then we can move directly into Jiasei (which should be much faster to put out, because the arc's rewrites are fairly conservative).

Click here to play Demo ver. 1.91!

As usual, Monthly Features and Art Rewards will be uploaded shortly after this update post goes up. The former will feature the second half of the Wuxia AU for the main cast, and the latter will feature the revamped artworks for Elias and Eliana.

That wraps it up for this update post, and as always, thank you for supporting the development of A Mage Reborn!

Has the first game that you can play through been updated with the new battle mechanic?

Maybe it's just me but it Seems some dialogue doesn't appear in the section with tahlia if you select the option 'I know. The vision told me as much' or 'get to the point'. The next page gets cutoff at "That you could replicate the feats of a master arcanist the moment his phantasma was bound to you?" Then you select a response. The choices kind of make no sense without the extra context you got from choosing the first option, which has more dialogue ending in "If you are to retain Raegusa's gifts, then we must cut loose the failed bonds. Allow space for a new one to take shape."

Love the update! It's going to be hard to decide which route to pick phantasma wise. They were both so good! Can't wait to pick up where the demo leaves off either. Also, when questioning Thalia about the phantasma I feel like it would be better to be able to ask all the questions listed rather than just one, but that's just my take.

Wait isn’t jiasei where we finally meet Saine again while masked. Ohhhhh we gonna be eating good

Raegusa, I choose you!!! Damn, I didn't expect Raegusa's powers to be used like this in combat, it just made me like that damn Phantasma even more! Great work, as always.

Really good update, I wonder how much of that lost potential we will be able to claw back.

I always love when we discuss stuff with Tahlia haha. I like the way she conveys information and lore. And her feats truly are incredible And I always look forward to the fight scenes and the friendly spars with Eli are great Before the rewrite you could see how strong the MC is but the way Tahlia explains it now I feel like we could really be unstoppable in the future haha And I had to choose Raegusa. I love that Phantasma especially the Black Sun spell

I don’t see my relationship stats with Eli when I check my stats. Is that a bug?

Loved the new update! Regarding the upcoming masked Saine sequence in Jinlai, I have to ask... My Param loyalist MC desperately wants to get back to Leon, Saine, and Ilya. So she gives Saine vague hints (like telling her real name, for example) to give him a clue that she's still alive. Could it be possible that Saine's dialogue accounts for that post-Jinlai? That Saine "catches" on to such hints?

Do all four of the starting phantasma have different effects or are they all high mage? Either way both new combat styles are amazing, but there's no way I'm not going to rock high mage. Matrix stopping spells is too sweet to pass up.
