New:
o New research - Golems - integration of magic and machine can be researched to learn how to build and animate golems

- Mecha Golem: a combination of mechanical engineering and magic that can be constructed from steel and components
- Flesh Golem: an abomination formed from human flesh and animated with magic

o New Class: Golemancer - the golemancer derives its power from the strain of magic that enables the melding of magic into an object through the use of engravings, runes, sigils, and tattoos to create semi-permanent magical effects
- Abilities:
o Golemancy - specifically focused on the enhancement and symbiotic connection with a golem
o Rune Carving - combining the carving of runes with material catalysts allows for the permanent enhancement of any type of natural or artificial limb
o Branding - a semi-permanent link between the target and the caster that converts a trickle of magical energy into beneficial effects
o Surge - overloads the casters connection to a branded target to increases the effects of all brands maintained by the caster by 5x, causes the caster pain
o Drain - applies the effects of a brand on the caster instead of the target, causes pain in the targets
* Surge and Drain can be used in combination

v2.6.1.0 update - Ideology phase 1 - mages

New:
o Magic Ideo (Meme) - Transcendent: reflects on different opinions of magic and mages and includes the following precepts...

o Precept: Abhore Magic - views magic as an abomination that will hold humanity back from true growth, and mages as less than human
Bonuses:

Penalties:
- Too many mages in the colony
- Too many spells or abilities used per day
- Mild social penalty for being a mage

o Precept: Approve of Magic - views magic as a valuable asset that can be used to better the colony
Bonuses:
- Enjoys seeing or using magic
- Social approval of mages
- Mood bonuses for number of mages in the colony
- Social opinion of a mage improves for using magic
Penalties:
- No mages in the colony
- Mood penalty for pawns that do not witness magic for a day
- Non-mages have a social penalty with mages
- Disapproves of the magic severence ritual

o Precept: Venerate Magic - views magic as a divine gift and mages as exalted beings able to commune with the gods
Bonuses:
- Social opinion increases for a day for a mage after using magic
- Mood bonus for using or seeing magic

- Ability Elemental Rift: uses mana to create a rift to an elemental plane; elementals from the rift will defend the colony
- The void bringer is required to perform the sever magic, gifting, and ascenscion rituals

o New ritual - sever magic: this ritual strips all magical ability from a pawn, if the ritual is performed poorly, the mage may attempt a desperate attack; this ritual can also be lethal to the mage

o New ritual - bestow magic (aka gifting): this ritual can be performed on the selected day of the year and, if successful, will grant a pawn the gifted trait along with mood and selectable secondary bonuses

o New Inspiration - arcane path (aka ascension): this inspiration allows a gifted pawn to acquire a magic class with the assistance of a void bringer ritual

o New event - mana storm: mana in the area becomes imbalanced and dangerous to use, mana flows readily and all spell costs are reduced by half and all mana reduction barriers are removed, however, any spell that costs over 5 mana will cause the storm to strike the mage; the more the spell's mana cost exceeds 5 mana, the stronger the arcane strike becomes

Tweaks:
