Well shoot.

I just needed to find one more spark of life to hit quadruple digits. Hopefully this doesn't set me back too much (the last one didn't exactly but it could happen).

This just occurred to me...

Maybe the "content" that was delayed for the raging promo was the new stuff for Apocrea?

The forums announcement for Apocrea was made on the 13th, soooo...

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

YES! APOCOREA IS BACK! Wait a second...1...DARN IT I ONLY HAVE ONE SPARK! *cries*

Anyhow, time for a little story...

There is an ancient man who goes by the name of Apoco. Seeking revenge, he researches day and night, trying to crack the core open. Apoco is an expert both in alchemy, robotics, and magic. He has locked himself up in a room, focusing all of his energy into his goal. The flesh of his arm has dropped off due to all of the writing which he has done, but his brews have more-or-less sustained the rest of his body.

Apoco brews endless amounts of 'coffee', or so he calls it, in order to invigorate himself and stay awake. He has stayed awake for centuries because of this coffee. As long as he drinks the stuff hourly, he never grows tired. However, rarely, he wraps himself up so thoroughly in his work that he forgets the vital brew. Even if he's a minute late, he abruptly falls into a death-like sleep.

The side effects of the coffee are potent, inducing twisted and dark nightmares. These nightmares are so violent that they tear through the fibers surrounding his lab, and become reality. This reality spreads throughout the Clockworks, creating null entities and instances. These act as nets for souls of the dead, reaping all which are in its path. His wrath is embodied by the Harvester...

When Apoco wakes, only vague memories of the destruction remain with him. He drinks more coffee and continues his work...until he misses another cup...

Well you'll be the first to tell us then. It'd be much much more attractive if it did.

I can confirm that there is indeed a footstep particle tied to the aura.

Axel Rudi Pell "Ghost in the Black"

We are heading out on the land
Raising our swords in the air
We'll fight for glory 'till the very end
Strong with no fear and despair

We followed the sign
Leaving our world behind

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

Should we go on into the dark
Even if we will be crucified
Expect no mercy, disastrously spark
The battle goes on in the night

We followed the sign
Leaving our world behind

Oh, Ghost in the Black
Running and leaving, we're under attack
Oh, Ghost in the Black
Hiding our souls, we might not come back

“Finally! After countless grinding, I was able to obtain this dark & mysterious aura that's perfect for an armor that's equally dark & mysterious!”

@Autofire
I am sincerely scared... The story makes to much sense.

Also, why the Apocrean event during the middle of summer

I get the joke, but you can't put auras on a skolver coat.

Thankfully.

It's things like that that make me feel out of touch with games I love. :/

I should start playing again.

When I heard of the Grasping Aura, I thought it would spawn a bunch of tentacles around your feet and leave a trail when you walk. My hopes were too high.
