BUFF / DEBUFF CHANGES

Lust has been redesigned:
When you deal damage, give it Lifesteal and lose 1 Lust.
While fully Lusted, adjacent allies also gain HP equal to the stolen amount, and lust is fully progressed.

Lust skills have been rebalanced to compensate, but most of them will likely still need additional balance changes.

Burn's full stack effect is now:
While fully Burning, Damage taken from debuffs on you is increased by 1.

AWAKENING CHANGES

- The Awakening tree has been rearranged, and the edges of the tree are now connected by default instead of being locked behind a sidequest.



- Growing Threat has been replaced with Threatening Stance:
When a battle starts, all allies gain Threat.
When an ally kills an enemy, or casts a skill that costs 2 or more Crystals, they gain Threat.
Threat on the protagonist is permanent, and any further Threat they gain is given to a random ally without Threat.

- Threat:
When an ally with Threat casts a skill, if all allies have Threat, gain a Crystal.
When the enemy round starts, if all allies have Threat, destroy an enemy Crystal.
When either of these activate, all allies lose Threat, and can't gain more until their next round.

- Cutthroat activations above 1 Crystal now requires you to have double the amount of Dexterity as before.

- If the protagonist uses a skill to pass the turn to a unit while they have Surge, they now also transfer 1 Surge to the target.
