New world map content: survive in the Astral Wastes, a new type of terrain that drains mana, halts regeneration, and punishes spellcasters. Energy instability causes spells to function opposite to their intent. Explore fractured lairs, ancient wonders, and ruined nodes. The Astral Sea worlds have changed – 20 meticulously crafted regions have been added. Try to survive the engulfing winds brought by the echoes of the fracture. The world crisis has made all spells perilous.
