Shonen protagonists are canon in ao
Does anyone else have any clue what this means? Like this feels like a pretty unclear answer. I think it means that after utilizing and getting experience with their magic once they gain a pretty complete understanding of their magic they come to and epiphany or something, kinda like Enizor when he unlocked his magic, which causes their magic to mutate? I’m not entirely sure though.
Also new bear models and textures.
Not sure if this was already a thing and then got added later after the most recent patreon sneaks, or if the sneaks the patrons have seen are now no longer what bears actually look like.

Id assume you’d mutate it basically just by going “huh so this is how this works… now let’s turn a few knobs”
Since that’s how I understand learning a second magic basically works in lore too. You get so good at magic that you learn how to manipulate energy in a different way to create a different element. Then you eventually get so good at it you figure out how to fine tune the magic. Of course different people think different things and different ideas come naturally to different people.
Vetex has confirmed in patreon that mage awakenings are canon. So they do “awaken” for their second magic rather than just learning it(though I imagine learning is part of the process of awakening as it was for the MC with the meditating and Poseidon bestowing a bit of knowledge onto them).
That aside though I do get what you’re saying. I’m not entirely sure if it’s right though cause the ability to mutate is passed down through bloodlines of people who originally found hecate shards and used them to mutate their magics, their bloodlines being so widespread among the diminished human population that most mages can mutate, so it’s doesn’t seem like it’s just a matter of learning to fine tune your magic. If it was just that the bloodline stuff doesn’t seem like it’d be necessary. Honestly the hecate shard stuff to discover the first magics doesn’t seem necessary anymore either if it works like that.
Forgets both Shale Reef and Forest of Masts, while making a baseless assumption that this new island will have spires.
Get a job dude this shit ain’t that deep

Shield guard too
Unrelated to the patch notes (TheFollest should make a topic about vetex lore drops)
not necessarily an epiphany, simply a better understanding or an attempt at increasing a quality of it. I like to think of it as finding a new way to make use of your muscles/to contract only a specific muscle, and considering vetex’s hobby, it might just be the same as his idea.
I’m pretty sure that the explanation for the “sudden mutation” is just awakening a magic from his bloodline , as stated in the lore doc.
The only reason I’ve been posting them here is cause it’s still new info which even if this thread focuses on patch notes it being new info makes it kinda relevant. I might still make a thread for Vetex lore drops though that is a good idea though.
I’d love to see a topic surround Vetex’s lore drops and messages within the patreon… I’m craving for more lore and official information from Vetex… 
Patreon people should just make a post if they can and scrappe all non-leaking messages

i hope so
I just decided “hey why not just include all the methods I can vaguely remember”
it made progressing with my series far easier
I use the Atlantean accessories for drip all the time
can’t wait for high land platforms to make spontanious drops to the bottom of the ocean 
it’s not just that, the player receives Poseidon’s holy belly button hair
learns how to demolish expert fighters in a matter of months
Huh, I wonder what makes the player’s legacy so powerful.
apparently the eastern reaches count as an island? weird
