Thank you everypony for waiting while we finished this edition. I'm beyond proud to present Courage is Magic 2.2 - "The Moon Sets". This is a very special edition for me because it represents a culmination of an incredible amount of work and also represents the end of an era for me. This will be the last edition of Courage is Magic that I will be the Lead Designer on. Now, an incredibly talented group that I've come to know and trust will be creating future updates at a much quicker speed. (As I understand it, they're already working on version 2.5 with a some really cool stuff in the pipeline. We're talking a complete monster manual, more classes and improved systems! (Really excited about how they're changing the level structure!)

Don't worry, I'll still be around as a creative designer, don't you all fret. We do this for YOU! You're amazing and I love hearing stories of people enjoying Courage is Magic.

What has been Added in Courage is Magic 2.2:
6 new Races:
    -Crystal Ponies: Become a sparkling beacon for hope in Equestria by calling upon the power of the Crystal Heart to bring new strength to your allies, while allowing blows to slide off your crystalline body.
    -Bat Ponies: Take to the night skies as a personal follower of Princess Luna. You stand between the nightmares that threaten to overcome the land, and also serve as a bastion of safety for your allies by casting shadows over them.
    -Changelings: Transform into an unassuming form, biding your time with so-called 'allies' who never suspect you're truly laying the groundwork for the eventual overthrow of their pathetic monarchists for the true Queen.
    -Dragons: Scaled, Greedy, and completely immune to fire. These scaled creatures are both terrifying to Ponies, but also command their respect with their insight and assistance they can provide, if they choose to align themselves with new hooved comrades.
    -Minotaurs: Big, Bad and Bold. Any alliteration that hints to the strength and integrity of these two-hooved mammoths applies! Be the steady stone which an adventuring party can use as a foundation. And look great while doing it.
    -Diamond Dogs: Deep beneath Equestria lies an entire civilization of canines determined to mine out an existence for themselves in search of new types of diamonds and ores. Be one of the more adventurous ones popping above-ground to see what wonders lie underneath the sky's curtain.

8 new Spirits:
    -Spirit of Courage: An explosive attacker that helps encourage their new allies to greater heights. They lead from the front, serving as beacons of hope, becoming more entrenched with refusing to fail under even the most dire circumstances. (Striker/Leader melee class based on Sunset Shimmer)
    -Spirit of Adventure: Time to find your Cutie Mark! Adventurers bounce about the battlefield, drawing enemy attention to themselves by being center of attentions while constantly shifting your approaches to situations based on both needs and whims. (Defender/Striker melee class based off the CMC gang)
    -Spirit of Embers: Actually, you did start the fire. And it's going to keep on burning as long as you have the strength to stoke the blaze. Either through natural means such as fire breathing, or through alchemical inventions, you're the pyromaniac that will see the world burn. (Striker ranged class based off Spike the dragon)
    -Spirit of Alchemy: No toil in your boil, you say. Blades pale in comparison to the power of a proper brew crafted on the spot. You cleverly toss reagents into vials on the spot and unleash the true power of Mother Nature for good and bad. (Controller/Leader spellcaster class based off Zecora)
    -Spirit of Illusion: Trixie is back for a heavily demanded encore. Take after the Mistress of Magic herself, tricking foes into damaging themselves and blowing minds apart with the greatest illusionary magic known to ponykind. (Striker spellcaster class based off The Great and Powerful Trixie Lulamoon)
    -Spirit of Music: There is a power of music, it is said, and you're here to prove that nations will march to your beat. Your voice swoons hordes of audiences that soon become your enthralled followers, and your dirges send foes fleeing before your tenor. (Striker/Controller spellcaster class based off the Sirens)
    -Spirit of Determination: When a pony Blocks, show then you ROCK! Ponies pay you big bucks to motivate them to stronger feats. Orders are only as good as the voice shouting them down at subordinates, and you've got one strong bass. (Defender/Leader melee class based off Iron Will)
    -Spirit of Shadows: Even in the brightest day, long shadows stretch out where the light can't touch. From here you strike, pulling darkness forth at your beck and call. Foes flee in the inky night you call down upon their shivering heads. (Striker melee class based off Bat Ponies)

8 new Destinies (Advanced Spirits):
    -Dawnbringer: Praise be to you, who shines as bright as the sun. Day sends the darkness and those who would cower from its warm touch fleeing. Burn away the ailments assaulting your allies and ruin all the evil plans meant to snuff out your light. (Alicorn destiny based off Princess Celestia)
    -Nightlord: Not all that seek the refuge of the night work for ill. Where best to assail the forces of darkness then within the embrace of when they believe they truly are safe. Root out those that would harm the innocents of Equestria by using their own might against them. (Alicorn destiny based off Princess Luna).
    -Eternal Foal: Not everypony is truly destined for one particular mark. Even as adults, these playful mares and stallions sport blank flanks that hint at their desire to pursue all the delights of life rather than being tied down to just one path. (A destiny for foals that wish to grow up but honor their past based off the CMC)
    -Wayfarer: It's not so much where you're going, but when you're going. By TARDIS, time machine or even a slide along the spiral of the time-line, you'll zip across the universe and back in search for new ways to help Ponykind and have a bit of fun on the way. (A time-travel/teleportation destiny based off Doctor Whooves).
    -Lord of the Wild: Most ponies seek to domesticate the wilds that surround their safe villages and cities, but you know better. Wild animals and nature itself bows to your beckoning. Allow the very power of creation flow through your hooves to heal even the greatest wounds (Druidic destiny based off Fluttershy)
    -Prophet: Take a look, it's in a book, or so it's said. You unfurl the scroll of destiny itself to browse the secrets of the universe with the greatest ease. Serve as the guide that both knows where you've gone and where you're traveling towards with the utmost enthusiasm. (Scholarly destiny based off Twilight).
    -Winter Lord: Frostbite nips at the nose and makes even the bravest ponies seek the comfort of a blazing fireplace when you blast through town. Freeze foes in their tracks, and make them leave a little trail in the snow from how fast they'll free your righteous gale. (Elemental destiny based off Wendigoes).
    -Master Infiltrator:  Praise be to you, who shines as bright as the sun. Not all that seek the refuge of the night work for ill. Not everypony is truly destined for one particular mark. It's not so much where you're going, but when you're going. (Druidic destiny based off Twilight Wendigoes)
