Adds Bestiariusz combat stat blocks for the setting's major NPCs (Pelagius
Caudex, Diana Koniecpolska, Karolina Fey, Narcyza Eleness Zurbach, Xillith
Isherwood, Princess Zayis), each with supporting Talenty and, where needed,
new spells/artifacts (Zayis's Thaumaturgy shield spells, Lexica Botania,
Miecz Taumiczny).
Also reconciles several NPCs against a user-authored canon power-scaling
list: Diana gets a body-horror physiology writeup, an Otchłań-overcast
immunity Talent, and a "stop, not defeat" scaling note; Karolina's Forma II
is renamed to match Wielka Księga Obrzędów canon and gains Lexica Botania +
Pełnia Mocy; Narcyza's command ability becomes an aura affecting everyone
nearby, not just her focus target. Replaces the "Eldrycki/Eldrycka" Polish
calque throughout with direct "Magia/zaklęcie Otchłani" phrasing.

The "2:1 instead of 5:1" shield-breaker clause was written to apply uniformly
to Runic Armour and Magic Shielding, but Magic Shield already depletes 1:1
by full damage dealt (its own baseline). Applied literally, "2:1" was worse
than a normal hit against Magic Shield - the opposite of the intended effect.
Playtest-verified via a corrected combat simulation. Fixed across all 6
shield-breaker spells: the 2:1 rate now applies to Runic Armour only, and
damage against Magic Shield is doubled instead.

Combat-pacing rebalance to curb single-cast overcast greed and long-fight
stalemates without further nerfing base spell damage:
- Replace the per-round mana cap with a daily mana pool (old Poziom Mocy
values x3), restored via rest tiers (Odetchniecie/Krotki/Dlugi Odpoczynek).
- Add a mundane-only "Kara za Wyczerpanie Many" table for casting past the
daily pool, and a "Kara za Nieudolnosc" table for failed overcast tests -
deliberately kept free of Otchlan/Obled corruption.
- Taper overcast effect bonuses past step 2 (halved, min 1) to blunt
free-zone alpha strikes below Maksymalny Koszt Zaklecia.
- Rebalance Zywotnosc/Oszolomiony/rest-recovery from 3x/1-3 to 2x/1-2.
- Add a "Potega Efektu" magnitude parameter to the spell-costing formula,
decoupling effect strength from casting difficulty (T/S).
- Flip the Obrazenia/Ochrona category modifiers (-0.4/+0.2, was 0.0/-0.7) so
shields cost more than comparable attacks instead of less, then swept all
spell files against the new formula.
- Expand shield-breaking beyond Ether Pierce (Mysterious Stream, Arrow of
Desire, Energy Wave, Divine Spear, Last Judgment, True Disintegration),
rework Forbidden Shield into a durability-based ward with a shield-ignoring
counter-attack, and complete True Disintegration's description, which was
truncated since the initial commit.
- Formalize the four-layer damage reduction order (Runiczny Pancerz ->
Magiczna Oslona -> Pancerz -> Zywotnosc) in the rulebook.

It duplicated the existing English "spell" tag on every spell file,
undermining the vault-wide Polish-to-English tag standardization.

- Fill empty hub index sections (Zakon Taumaturgow, Sily Specjalne Gaja,
Wybrancy Herosow) and add missing entries (Nemyo) in npcs.md
- Resolve broken template fields for Nil, Mundus, Tempus, Mistrz Losu,
Ten Ktory jest Mroczny, Anna Heide, and Narcyza using confirmed canon
- Update Kult Otchlani org page to reflect Nil's motive for culling
her own cultists
- Add "zaklecia" tag to all 104 spell files
- Translate ~90 Polish frontmatter tags to English vault-wide for
consistency with the spells/ taxonomy (e.g. otchlan->abyss,
magia-krwi->blood-magic, szkarlatny-kult->crimson-cult), keeping
proper nouns (character/place names) and clean up legacy "#tag"
hashtag-style artifacts left over from old Obsidian inline tags

Fetched the "Klątwa Otchłani" doc and checked it against rules/02
(mechanics), lore/02 (Otchłań worldbuilding), and the eldritch spell
files it links out to.
- Missing rules content: "Przywołanie Istoty z Otchłani" gave no way to
actually determine required successes ("depends on the creature", full
stop) - the book's per-creature table (Tajemny Krab 2, Strażnik
Otchłani 4, Czempion Otchłani 6, Simulacrum 10 successes, plus their
Otchłań-bond level requirements) was dropped entirely. Restored it.
- Wrong cross-reference: rules/02's Wstęp pointed to
[[03. Ekonomia Magicznego Świata]] (a different book's lore file
entirely) instead of [[02. Otchłań i Magia]].
- Two more headings that degraded to plain text during a prior sync
("Bariera Ziemi", "Przebudzenie" in lore/02) - same failure pattern as
Arcanum Sanguinis, now fixed.
- Chapter renumbering inconsistency: rules/02 renumbers every chapter
locally (I-V) except the last one, which stayed "Rozdział X" from the
book's original numbering. Renumbered to VI for consistency with its
siblings.
Verified: Nil/Mundus/Tempus/Mistrz Losu personifications (already split
to npcs/Kult Otchłani/*.md) and all 5 eldritch spell stat blocks match
the doc. Rozdział III (Kara za nieudolność) and VIII (Choroby
Psychiczne) are empty in the book itself, not a sync gap.
