Thanks so much for playing all the way through and writing this up, it's really useful. You're right about quite a lot of it. The Casting practice is bugged and not giving XP, and that's being fixed now. The errands were far too hidden, so as of today they have their own tab at the top. Stars and upgrades are getting plain descriptions of what they actually do, and the next skills to learn will be much easier to spot. I'm also looking hard at the balance, since snowballing into just clicking everything isn't what I want it to feel like. A proper goal is coming too, with seasons that work a bit like a prestige. If you fancy another go after the next update I'd love to hear if it feels better. Would just like to say thank you once again for the post as it means a lot that you played it and the feedback is priceless.
