Keep in mind, this project has been in and out of development for the past several years. Only recently was the project brought back out to see the light of day. This list of changes is a rough one. Some changes listed here may not be accurate. You're welcome to bring any issues to our attention.

Changes
◆ Updated the plugin to Spigot 1.13.2 & ProjectKorra 1.8.8 compatibility.
◆ Added new config values for Alleviate & Intoxicate dealing with the particle colors (You may delete the old config line as it's not used anymore). To edit the colors of Alleviate & Intoxicate you must now use RGB (red green blue) color format as opposed to the 6 character hex string. You can usually find the RGB codes in the same sites where you found the 6 character hex string.
◆ I do not recommend leaving Corrupt and Purify enabled on your server as I'm still working with them for the update. If you're able to disable them, please do. I tried disabling them in the code but these abilities are haunted and won't disable. Sorry.

New Installation Instructions
The time has come! The Spirits project has now been converted to a plugin which means you will install it differently on your server! Other things are different as well but I will get to that later.

How to install
To install this version of Spirits (Beta 1.0.12) onto your server, you will do so just like any other plugin! You will locate the "plugins" folder for your minecraft server and place it in there! You will no longer be placing the download inside of your ProjectKorra "Abilities" folder.

New Configuration File
Before downloading and installing it is important that you save the configuration you are currently using for Spirits because you will need to convert to the new file that the plugin uses. Spirits now generates its own configuration file which it uses and is stored inside of the Spirits folder found in your servers plugin folder. This file will spawn with default variables which means any edits you have in the ProjectKorra config.yml will not be applied. You must go in and change the variables manually for them to be active. Additionally, anything that used to be found in ProjectKorra's language.yml is now also found in the new config.yml inside of the Spirits folder. This includes ability descriptions and instructions. However, the spirit rank colors are still found in ProjectKorra's language.yml due to technical difficulties.

Now I will get into the change log. I will be updating the overview for Spirits as soon as this update is posted.

Changes
◆ Added new LightSpirit combo: Rejuvenate.

Spoiler: Visual

After executing the combo sequence, you will mark the ground with positively charged spiritual energy for a duration of time. Entities can come to this location to heal themselves, but dark creatures must beware!

◆ Added new Spirit combo: Phase.

Spoiler: Visual

This advanced combo allows a Spirit to dematerialize into a state where they can walk through walls and fly around a certain radius. They are able to do this because of their unqiue molecular makeup not seen in any other being!

◆ Added new Spirit ability: Vanish.

Spoiler: Visual

Spirits are often seen disappearing into thin air and then reappearing somewhere different. With this ability, you can harness that power as well! However, there is a certain duration you are able to vanish for an a radius of how far away from your original location you're allowed to get!
