"Featuring our first tight cycle, the Sigils. Swapped the Mind and Light enchant effects, and added a Water enchant after all. Not all changes listed, such as template changes. More vocab words have been tagged, and trying a few new ones."

Vapors - When this enchant is dusted, give your hero +3 Health and draw.

I was content with Mana Potion in the role of the positive water enchant, but Inner Beast has played so well that I couldn't help but add another enchant with that trigger.
