- Increased level-scaling of actor and enemy Spell Power to support the increased NewGame+ level range

It's been a pleasure! Thanks once again to Human and all the participants of Harold Jam 2023 as well as Sawyer Friend, OathGames, and TheRealTron for letting me use their OC's as playable characters.
