## About The Pull Request
Some changes to Cosmic and Knock heretic ascensions, in response to
feedback.
- Cosmic Heretics can no longer control their summon while jaunted.
- Additionally the death link element the Star Gazer used... wouldn't
work if there was more than one cosmic heretic. I refactored it into a
component, so that it would.
Frankly there are probably a lot of _other_ abilities which shouldn't be
usable while jaunted but are, but I have been burned in the past by
adding defaults which were applied too widely so we'll leave it
case-by-case for now.
- The Knock rift can no longer summon Flesh Worms of any kind.
- But it _can_ summon fire sharks (we really need to reflavour these...)
and any future "basic mob" heretic mobs (or ones which are converted).
- Additionally the rift can't be clicked by ghosts while it's polling
ghosts automatically because that would create funky empty-minded mobs.
- Finally it goes away when the heretic dies.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For Cosmic Heretics, controlling the Star Gazer in conjunction with
Space Jaunt essentially meant that the heretic was playing an RTS as an
invincible observer with an invulnerable unit, now they have to actually
be present and killable in order to sic The Beast on you.
For Knock Heretics, Minor Flesh Worms are a proof of concept which was
never meant to be used except by admins. They're _barely_ weaker than a
normal flesh worm, extraordinarily tanky, delete walls, and generally
devalue the Flesh path ascension.
Vanishing upon heretic death is because every _other_ ascension is at
least theoretically stoppable except this one. Now this one is too.
It's still _very hard_ to kill the heretic because every _10 seconds_
they can transform into a heretic mob which acts as an extra health
pool.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: If two cosmic heretics ascend in the same round, their star gazer
survival will be linked to each individual heretic and not shared by
just one of them.
fix: You can't click the Knock heretic portal to join as a mob while
already signed up to become a mob.
balance: Cosmic heretics can't order the Star Gazer around while
jaunting.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal cannot summon Flesh Worms, but can
summon Fire Sharks.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal will disperse if its creator is
killed.

When I refactored stuff to use lazy templates it broke a few needed checks, this is one of those checks.
Although there is no reason this shouldn't have been checking for station level over not CC
## About The Pull Request

Pirate gangs are now datumized for extendability, custom dialogue, etc.
### Psyker Gang 🧠
Psyker-gang Members are pirates who are... yes, Psykers. They're on a
gore-binge and need some money for more hits of gore!

you'll go splat.

Given to the leader.

## About The Pull Request
- Adds 5 new heretic spells!
- For Flesh: Flesh Surgery. This spell is a touch spell that can either
be used to heal your minions or extract organs from mobs.
- For Void: Cone of Cold. This is a simple spell - it shoots out a cone,
of cold, that freezes and damages people caught in it.
- For Ash: Volcano Blast. This spell functions like Tesla Blast, but
instead of electricity, it shoots out of a beam of fire that hurts to
walk over.
- For Blade: Realignment. Think of this like "Fleshmend but for stuns /
stamcrit". It rapidly regenerates stamina damage and reduces stuns,
while making you a pacifist. It can also be cast in rapid succession,
but this will increase the cooldown.
- For Rust: Rust Construction. Point at a rusted tile, and a wall will
be raised where it was instantly. This even damages people and throws
them aside - Or, if on a multi-z map, can lift up.
- Number of influences has increased.
- 5 at 1 heretic
- 9 at 2
- 12 at 3
- 14 at 4
- 15 at 5
- 16 at 6, and so on
- Heretics are given a 5th sacrifice target, selected randomly. On
average an additional sacrifice is needed for their objectives.
- Being sacrificed grants you a permanent phobia of the supernatural.
Phobia of the supernatural has been expanded to cover heretic items and
mobs.
- The equation for offhand damage of blade heretics was tweaked. Actual
result unchanged, it's just more resilient to future changes now.
- Touch spells were refactored a bit, and overall expanded to be easier
to use
- Charged spells were added, and charged beam spells. Tesla blast uses
this.
- Cone spells were refactored to be easier to setup.
- Jaunting will now hide your runechat when it triggers, to make it less
easy to follow.
- Heretic Ghouls now take less stamina damage based on how low their
health pool is.
- Emote based spells now require hands to be unblocked to be cast, like
mime spells.
- Yes this gets rid of handcuffed invisible walls... Not 100% on this,
but I figured it's good for consistency? Open to discussion
## Why It's Good For The Game
A lotta feedback has passed through about heretic and it's time to
address some of it
- Problem: Not enough cool flash spells. Makes Focus not worth it.
- Solution: Adds some more spells to encourage focus use.
- Problem: Sacrifice targets being too willing or not harmed enough
- Solution: A permanent trauma.
- Problem: Not enough ways to power up.
- Solution: Adding more influences around, though I think there should
be more variety in knowledge rituals as well.
- Problem: Ash Passage sucks
- Solution: Makes it a smidge better to stay hidden with it.
- Problem: Heretic Ghouls get one hit by batons
- Solution: Stamina modifier should put them on par with unmodified
humans.

the Ritual of Knowledge.

cone which deal damage and freezes.

A spell similar to lichdom, though with different conditions.
Dramatically reduces your cooldowns
Cooldown saved is converted into blood lost
You are now a vampire, drinking blood refills your bloodwell, and you're naturally slowly running out.
New school, Sanguine spells, which aren't affected by splattercasting and generally involve blood.

- merged magic/spell and magic/aoe, as the comment intended
- more unified behavior for spell levelling

This refactors the antimagic component to use and have bitflags, documentation, defines, code comments, named arguments, and renames variable names for clarity.
- /obj/effect/proc_holder/spell/aoe_turf/conjure/creature/cult is not used anywhere and has been removed
- /obj/effect/proc_holder/spell/targeted/turf_teleport/blink/cult is not used anywhere and has been removed
- New sound effects are played when magic is blocked. Depending on the type of magic being used it will be either:
- Equipping antimagic now properly updates the magic buttons
- Any magic being blocked or restricting casting now displays a message
- MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND now properly blocks telepathy effects
- Removes blood splatter when fireball is blocked
- Magic projectiles for staff of locker no longer spawn lockers when blocked by antimagic
- Fire breath is no longer blocked by antimagic
- Spellcards are now blocked by antimagic
Any antimagic on a mob blocks that magic type from being casted. (certain spells such as mime abilities completely ignore antimagic)
- Foilhats prevent someone from casting mind magic (telepathy, mindswap, etc.)
- Bibles, ritual Totems, nullrods, holymelons, and TRAIT_HOLY prevent someone from casting unholy magic (cult spells, etc.)
- Nullrods, ritual totem, and holymelons prevent someone from casting wizard magic (fireball, magic missile, etc.)
- Immorality talismans, berserker suits, and TRAIT_ANTIMAGIC prevents all types of magic (except stuff like mime abilities)
- Touch of Madness and Mindswap is now blocked with MAGIC_RESISTANCE and MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND
- Voice of god is now blocked with MAGIC_RESISTANCE_HOLY and MAGIC_RESISTANCE_MIND
This removes code/__DEFINES/misc.dm and moves all the defines to either:
another existing define file
new define file
local .dm file if the define was only used in one file
I also deleted defines that were not being used and added documentation to all of the ones that were moved out of misc.dm
Why was this needed? People were basically using the misc.dm file as a dumpster to toss all their defines into that was creating one giant mess. The defines have been organized into their proper groups and files now.
