Phantom Update (v1.23) Change Log (2021-07-27)

Hey Everyone,

We're back with a new update which adds a plethora of arcana and relics along with various quality of life improvements and rebalancing. With this update, Tomi is finally satiated and will no longer be able to hold any new arcana. We've also added a new relic grouping system that will merge similar relics together into a collection so that you can save on inventory space. There are too many changes to mention here, but below is a quick overview of what you can expect:
