I have encountered a few new things, at least that I noticed.
1. I figured out how to get Enburn as the first spell that you learn, and I figure it's about how you answer, AKA your game personality.
2. I feel like the game was way longer than the last time I played this. I played this in the morning, and it was nighttime when I finished it. In my time zone, I would've played this at 4:56, and now it's 8:08 (PM).
3. I was amazingly invested, as last time it was just a time passer, and I was aware of my surroundings. However, through this playthrough, I've been staring at my computer for the longest time I have.
You did great so far, and I hope when I come back in 5 months, yet again, there will be much more.
