About The Pull Request

Void chill changes

Void chill had it's slowdown slightly reduced (0.5 multiplier -> 0.3)

Holy water now purges void chill stacks every 2 seconds and makes void storm and chill itself cool you down way slower

Ascension change

Ascension now require bodies that at any point had a mind in them. That means you can't just use spawned morgue corpses for the ritual and instead have to hope that morgue has actual people or be forced to stab stab to ascend.

Why It's Good For The Game

Void chill changes are mostly from player complaints about slowdown being too big and void conduit being way too good of an ability. This also makes ascended void heretics less ass to fight if you sip a bit of holy water and buy you some time (you will still die probably)

Ascension change comes from complaint about stealth ascensions being too common and ascension being too easy to achieve. This is aimed to force people to act in at least some way.

Do any of the other ascensions require bodies with minds to work?

If the other ascensions don't require a mind, then it would be better to change it to require a mind for all of them, rather than just void in particular.
