The Staff of Change now has its own sprite/in hands.

The Wizard Spellbook has a new subsection: Artefacts. Artefacts are items with special properties that the wizard can purchase as an alternative to spells (one artefact costs as much as one spell)

Currently the only Artefact is the Staff of Change, more to follow.

Updated the changelog.
