It's time for the Super Penguin Chef magic overhaul! What's changing?
Generally, ultimate skills now cost about half as much MP to use. This makes them affordable for occasional random encounters. Potions were also changed, making them restore fixed amounts of HP/MP instead of percentages. This makes them more worthwhile at the start of the game, and later, you have enough money to buy as many as you want anyway.
Pengler's kit was already in a pretty good place, but it was hard to justify spending turns on Bubble when Pengler should be a damage dealer. Bubble was retooled to apply to the entire party, meaning fewer turns spent casting it. Additionally, Snowball was replaced, since it offered a third direct damage spell that wasn't distinct enough from Ice Cube.
- Snowball is replaced with Freshen Up, which heals for 15/25/35% Magic and adds Regen for the same amount at the cost of 2 MP.
- Bubble no longer increases M-Defend, but it applies to the whole party.
- Grand Finale costs 15 MP (was 25 MP).
Hogg Wilde received a boost in Magic scaling on several of his spells. Grease was changed partly to support the Bubble change and partly because the cheesy perfect evasion build isn't all that fun to execute.
- Piggy costs 8/4/1 MP (was 10/5/1 MP). The collection of Snouts will be tied to an in-game quest.
- Hug heals for 150/200/250% Magic and costs 4/5/6 MP (was 100/150/200% Magic for 3/5/7 MP).
- Cheer heals for 100/125/150% Magic and costs 5/6/7 MP (was 80/100/120% Magic and 5/7/9 MP).
- Grease increases the entire party's M-Defend instead of Evade.
- Sizzle costs 5 MP (was 8 MP).
- Bacon Saver heals for 200% Magic and costs 15 MP (was 150% Magic and 30 MP).
Mr. Slitherbottom lost Magic scaling on Stun Fang and Mute Fang, partly for balance reasons and partly to simplify the spell descriptions. To compensate for being his only remaining attack to scale with Magic, Venom Fang's scaling increased slightly. Additionally, Blind, Mute, and Stun all received cost reductions to make them more attractive alternatives to the no-brainer Venom and Drain Fangs.
- Venom Fang poisons for 50/85/120% Magic (was 50/75/100% Magic).
- Drain Fang costs 3/4/5 MP (was 3/5/7 MP).
- Stun Fang stuns for 2/3/4 seconds instead of scaling with Magic, and it costs 4/5/6 MP (was 7/9/11 MP).
- Mute Fang mutes for 3/5/7 seconds instead of scaling with Magic, and it costs 4 MP (was 6 MP).
- Blind Fang reduces Aim by 20/35/50 and costs 3 MP (was 15/25/35 Aim and 4/5/6 MP).
- Death Fang costs 10 MP (was 20 MP).
Altagator didn't require major changes, but most of his spells got a cost reduction. Shout was way too good and is the only spell to get nerfed outright.
- Roar costs 3/4/5 MP (was 3/5/7 MP).
- Shout increases Speed by 4/6/8 (was 4/8/12).
- Thrash costs 5 MP and deals 10% Attack damage to the caster (was 6/8/10 MP and 20% Attack damage).
- Boost costs 2/3/4 MP (was 5/6/7 MP).
- Crush costs 6 MP (was 10 MP).
- Chain Chomp costs 12 MP (was 25 MP).
