[b]Darkness Mechanic Reworked:[/b] [list] [*] No longer will the Abyss consume you when your Darkness reaches it's Darkness Limit. [*] Instead, whenever you reach your Darkness limit, enemies in the world become more difficult (like before), and you gain 1 Devotee's Burden which you can spend on Rituals. [*] Rituals offer a chance to gain bonuses similar to previous item corruptions, but applied to your character instead. These are called Abyssal Blessings. In order to complete a ritual, you must also take upon yourself a temporary debuff, or Gold/HP loss. [*] Abyssal Blessings have upsides and downsides, like item curses, and the detrimental effects can be cleared by killing great enemies. [*] Killing Great Enemies will still clear the negative effects of the Blessing, but if there's no blessing to cleanse, you'll gain a Luminous Fragment which can be used in further rituals to automatically gain an Abyssal Blessing without detriments.
