Overview:

The bugfix does the following:

Enable agility/evade for actual hit/evade mechanics instead of animation-only

Hit up/down effects altered from no change to +10/-15 accuracy

Increased chance for critical hits from fixed 0 to 2+LUCK

LUCK now grants a chance to deny enemy counter moves

Changed attack bonus of crits from +50% to + (LUCK x weapon factor)/3
(for monsters, treat level/4 as weapon factor)

Reduced damage of regular attacks for dual attackers by 25%

Reduced Kevin’s wolf form bonus from +15% to +10%

Reduced power up/down effect from +33% to +20%

Apply 300 def cap before buffs instead of after

Corrected issue with level-ups where max stats were sometimes those of later levels

Force attack recalculation on map transition to prevent wolf bonus stacking abuse

Tran Shape has fixed duration of 12 instead of 25 minus LUCK

Heal Light no longer “heals” max HP up/down
(effect was only visible on next max HP check)

Heal Light is no longer reduced on a target that has m.def up
(or increased with m.def down)

Prevent HP overflow from healing enemies with 65k+ HP

Changed energy ball from crit rate = 1/2 to crit rate x1.5

Blaze Wall, Flame Breath, Demon Breath and Lava Wave no longer remove status ailments from the target
(they try to inflict non-existing burn state)

Fixed Kevin’s Death Hand and Dervish being mixed up in menu

Fixed level of Gemstone Valley mobs that are stuck at Lv28 instead of growing with plot progress like their neighbors

Removed check that sets LUCK to max if it is 20 or above on any kill

Fixed that the day bonus on melee attacks checking for the target’s saber instead of the attacker’s

Added element check on Lv2/3 techs
(immune, absorb and reflect deal 1 damage instead of their real effects)

Fixed magic shield only applying half of the magic defense effect mind up gives

Fixed cast time progressing while menu is open

Fixed spell damage calculation using the level of the target instead of the caster for the 60%/90% bonus

Changed the level based bonus to a gradual increase by level instead of a sudden spike going from 19 to 20 and 39 to 40

Added exp rubber-banding if your highest leveled party member is below the monster’s level

Added extra patch to remove cast time of spells (optional)

Added extra patch to always get a chest after battle (optional)

Added extra patch to boost all elements on Mana Day (optional)

RB’s notes: One of the characters has the wrong palettes for his last two classes, and overall, color use on the characters is not very good.

I suggest applying Hues of Mana on top of this hack to either correct or vastly improve the colors for all characters, depending on the version chosen.

Hues of Mana added (as patches) so users can pick the version they prefer. Refer to to the included Readme for more information.
